Very clear proof of what were the IDEALS and CAUSE of the Macedonian Partisan movement against the Bulgarian Nazi-Fascists during the World War II.
As we can all clearly read, they foundations are closely inspired and linked to the Ilinden uprising and the Krushevo Republic as a symbol of freedom. Macedonians were aware that are separate and distinct nation not belonging to Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece or Albania!
This Ilinden Proclamation was officially announced on 2nd of August 1941!
