Transportation of weapons and ammunition from Bulgaria to the EU member states and the other way around will be allowed only after receiving a special permit from Bulgarian police, the parliament decided Thursday.

The government adopted several changes to the regulation on applying the law for controlling explosives, weapons and ammunitions.

The tax for getting a European passport of a weapon is now BGN 50. The document that allows transportation of explosives and ammunitions costs BGN 20.

If a person wants to import, export or transfer weapons he will have to pay BGN 800 to get the needed permit.
