Zakon o ratifikaciji Sporazuma med Vlado Republike Slovenije in Vlado Republike Bolgarije o odpravi vizumov (BBOOV)

Ratificira se Sporazum med Vlado Republike Slovenije in Vlado Republike Bolgarije o odpravi vizumov, podpisan v Ljubljani dne 5. novembra 2001.

Sporazum se v slovenskem in v angleškem jeziku glasi*: Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Republike Bolgarije (v nadaljnjem besedilu pogodbenici), sta se v želji, da olajšata potovanja svojih državljanov in razvijata prijateljske odnose med državama, dogovorili o naslednjem:

Državljani vsake pogodbenice, ki imajo veljavne potne listine, določene v prilogi k temu sporazumu, lahko vstopijo na ozemlje druge pogodbenice na vsakem za to določenem mejnem prehodu in tam ostanejo največ do 90 (devetdeset) dni v obdobju 6 (šestih) mesecev, ne da bi jim bilo treba pridobiti vizum.

Državljani vsake pogodbenice, ki želijo vstopiti na ozemlje druge pogodbenice za obdobje, daljše od 90 (devetdeset) dni ali z namenom zaposlitve ali študija, si morajo – z izjemo iz 3.člena tega sporazuma – pred prihodom pridobiti potrebno dovoljenje pristojnih organov države druge pogodbenice.

1. Državljani vsake pogodbenice, ki imajo veljavne diplomatske, službene ali druge nacionalne potne liste in opravljajo uradne dolžnosti kot člani diplomatske misije, konzulata ali mednarodne organizacije na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, so oproščeni vizumov za vstop in bivanje za čas opravljanja njihovih uradnih dolžnosti, potem ko je bila o tem obveščena sprejemna država. 2. Ista določila veljajo tudi za družinske člane (mož, žena in otroci, ki živijo z njimi v skupnem gospodinjstvu) oseb, ki so omenjene v prejšnjem odstavku.

Ta sporazum ne odvezuje državljanov vsake pogodbenice obveznosti, da spoštujejo veljavne zakone in predpise druge pogodbenice.

Vsaka pogodbenica si pridržuje pravico, da nezaželenim osebam zavrne pravico do vstopa ali bivanja v državi.

Organi vsake pogodbenice brez formalnosti sprejmejo nazaj na svoje ozemlje svoje državljane.

1. Pogodbenici si bosta izmenjali vzorce veljavnih potnih listin po diplomatski poti najmanj 30 (trideset) dni pred začetkom veljavnosti tega sporazuma. 2. Če ena od pogodbenic spremeni potne listine ali vpelje nove potne listine po uveljavitvi tega sporazuma, pošlje drugi pogodbenici po diplomatski poti vzorce teh listin najmanj 30 (trideset) dni pred njihovo vpeljavo.

Vsaka pogodbenica lahko iz razlogov državne varnosti, javnega reda ali javnega zdravja začasno preneha uporabljati predhodne določbe v celoti ali delno, razen 6.člena tega sporazuma. Tako prenehanje uporabe se mora nemudoma sporočiti drugi pogodbenici po diplomatski poti.

Ta sporazum se sklene za nedoločen čas. Vsaka pogodbenica ga lahko kadarkoli odpove s predhodnim 30 (trideset) dnevnim pisnim obvestilom po diplomatski poti.

Ta sporazum začne veljati na dan prejema zadnje od not, s katerima se pogodbenici medsebojno obvestita o izpolnitvi vseh notranjepravnih pogojev, ki so potrebni za začetek njegove veljavnosti.
