Manifesto from the Provisional Government of Macedonia - 1881 Kustendil, 11th/23rd March 1881 True to the original Dospat 18th/30th April 1881. President, Vasil Chomo[1] Secretary, Nikola Trajkov. Real Macedonians, faithful offspring of your fatherland! Will you let your fatherland be destroyed? Look at her, how she is suffocated in slavery, bleeding from the wounds that the surrounding nations have inflicted her with! Look at the heavy chains that the Sultan has put her in! In such a helpless state, all in tears, our dear Macedonia, our beloved fatherland is calling you: my faithful children, you descendants of Aristotle and Alexander the Great. ………………. It's clean. We are Macedonians. We are not Slavs. We have been here 1000 before the Slavs came. Slavs are enemies, Slavs are conquerors of Macedonia. The Slavs destroyed our language, our history, our Architecture, our true Macedonian identity. It is a shame to still believe the communist Slavic propaganda.
