The results of the separate surveys were brought to the knowledge of the research community and the institutions in charge of making the state policy regarding entrepreneurship. They were also made known to the general public and the entrepreneurs themselves by way of a number of publications. The forum "European Day of the Entrepreneur" (2003, 2004) and other international projects created conditions these results to be internationally disseminated. It is also important that data from the three surveys (1991, 1997 and 2004) are being used in teaching entrepreneurship. The public assessment of the results generated by the project "Private Business in Bulgaria" gives grounds for the contention that the efforts for its sustainability and development are reasonable and should go on.
