The Center for Demographic Policies of Sofia has drawn up some demographic projections, elaborated based on the emigration, mortality and fertility rates of the ethnic groups of the country, currently separated by important differences and in the future destined to crystallize or accentuate – unless there will be radical changes in national dynamics. By 2050 the Bulgarians could become the third ethnic group of the country, about 800 thousand people, overtaken by Romanis, 3 million and 500 thousand, and Turks, 1 million and 200 thousand; by 2100 historical Bulgaria could cease to exist, as inhabited by 8 million Romanis, 1 million and 500 thousand Turks and only 300 thousand Bulgarians.
