Section I General Provisions Article 9 (1) Crime shall be an act dangerous to society (action or inaction), which has been culpably committed and which has been declared punishable by law. (2) Criminal shall not be an act which, although formally containing the elements of crime provided by law, because of its insignificance is not dangerous to society or its danger to society is obviously insignificant. Article 10 (Amended, SG No. 50/1995) Dangerous to society shall be an act which threatens or harms the person, the rights of the citizens, the property, the legal order established by the Constitution in the Republic of Bulgaria or other interests, protected by the legal system. Article 11 (1) An act dangerous to society shall be considered culpably committed where it is intentional or committed through negligence. (2) An act shall be considered intentional where its perpetrator was conscious its nature of dangerous to society, foresaw its consequences as dangerous to society and wished or allowed the occurrence of such consequences. (3) An act shall be considered committed through negligence where the perpetrator did not foresee the occurrence of consequences dangerous to society, but was obliged to and could foresee them, or where he foresaw the occurrence of such consequences but intended to avert them. (4) Acts committed through negligence shall be punishable only in the cases provided by law. (5) Where the law qualifies an act as aggravated crime due to the occurrence of additional consequences dangerous to society, if no intent is required for such consequences the perpetrator shall be held responsible for aggravated crime where he has acted with negligence with regard to those consequences. Article 12 (1) An act shall be considered not dangerous to society where it has been committed in situation of inevitable defence against immediate unlawful attack on state or public interests, on the person or the rights of the person defending himself or of another person, by inflicting harm on the attacker within the framework of the necessary limits. (2) The limits of inevitable self-defence shall be considered exceeded where the defence obviously did not compare to the nature and danger of the attack. (3) (New, SG No. 62/1997, amended, SG No. 120/1997, SG No. 75/2006) The limits of inevitable defence shall not be considered exceeded where the attack took place through violent penetration into premises or through violent housebreaking.
