When a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, Bulgarian law makes the first working day after it a day off, except for the Easter holidays; these counts include that day, labelled as observed. The Council of Ministers can also declare a one-off non-attendance day under the Labour Code, as it did for 2 January 2026, and these counts include it.
