European Court of Human Rights found Bulgaria in violation of Article 8 in CASE OF ALEKSIEVA AND OTHERS v. BULGARIA

On 25 August 2026 a Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights delivered judgment in CASE OF ALEKSIEVA AND OTHERS v. BULGARIA (application no. 30915/23).

On 25 August 2026 a Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights delivered judgment in a case it titles “CASE OF ALEKSIEVA AND OTHERS v. BULGARIA”, brought against Bulgaria under application no. 30915/23.

The Court recorded a violation of Article 8 of the Convention.

The Court states its conclusion as: “Preliminary objection joined to merits and dismissed (Art. 34) Individual applications;(Art. 34) Victim;Remainder inadmissible (Art. 35) Admissibility criteria;(Art. 35-1) Exhaustion of domestic remedies;(Art. 35-3-a) Manifestly ill-founded;(Art. 35-3-a) Ratione materiae;Violation of Article 8 - Right to respect for private and family life (Article 8-1 - Respect for home);Respondent State to take measures of a general character (Article 46-2 - Legislative amendments);Pecuniary damage - claim dismissed (Article 41 - Pecuniary damage;Just satisfaction);Non-pecuniary damage - award (Article 41 - Non-pecuniary damage;Just satisfaction)”

The wording in quotation marks above is the Court's own conclusion, reproduced so that the finding can be checked against the record. It is not this service's summary of the judgment.

This record establishes that the Court delivered this judgment on 25 August 2026 and what it recorded as its findings. It does not establish anything about the underlying events beyond what the Court found, it does not report what either party said, and it does not state what follows for Bulgaria or for anyone else. A Chamber judgment may be referred to the Grand Chamber and is not necessarily the end of the case.

Limits of this brief

Chamber and Grand Chamber judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, in English. Committee judgments are not reported: they apply well-established case-law to repetitive applications and are roughly two thirds of the Court's output by volume, so excluding them is a large omission and is stated here rather than left to be discovered. Decisions on admissibility, communicated cases, advisory opinions and legal summaries are not reported either. Where the Court found a violation on one limb of an article and none on another, that is reported as appearing in both findings; neither half is ever stated without the other. Case names are reproduced as the Court publishes them, including where they name an applicant and where the Court has anonymised one. This service makes no separate anonymisation decision. A judgment establishes what the Court decided on a date. It does not establish anything about the underlying events beyond the Court's own findings, it does not report what either party argued, and a Chamber judgment may still be referred to the Grand Chamber.
