The article discusses some major challenges in editing articles and abstracts with a political focus in English in Bulgarian scientific periodicals. It happens that many of the terms in articles and abstracts that deal with issues affecting legislation in the European Union (EU) are not standardized or codified, as some phenomena have not existed in the language so far. The specific "Eurojargon" used by policymakers easily finds a place in articles and abstracts on the European Union. Sometimes, due to lack of time, journalists use phrases that are adopted by the Brussels administration without thinking about clarifying them to listeners and readers, and perhaps without fully understanding them themselves. Many institutions are aware that such a "European" language is widening the gap between the institutions in Brussels and the citizens of Europe. Due to the complex language of the EU, more and more often the editor, as well as the citizen, finds themselves in a situation where they are clearly aware that communication is impossible. Addressing these challenges could be supported not only through official documents translated into our native language but also through conferences, round tables, discussions on the topic and various government initiatives to fund projects with the inevitable assistance of professionals and linguists in the field of mass communications.
