The Bulgarian Vice-President commuted the 21 death sentences passed between 1990 and 1998 to life imprisonment upon the abolition of the death penalty in December 1998. Bulgarian courts had continued to pass death sentences up to abolition in 1998, but none of these were executed due to a moratorium.
