Lawyers can tell people anything they want. The only thing that matters is what is said by a judge.

If a country fails to comply with a directive then it may become subject to certain sanctions, but that doesn't change the fact that the only law that prevails in that country is the law which has been passed by the country's parliament.
Bulgaria's law may be loosely formulated and allow actions that are not in accord with its international commitments. But until it's changed, that is what the law says, and Bulgarian courts have to abide by it.
