Summary/Abstract: The 8th Primorski Infantry Regiment is one of the famous Bulgarian regiments. It took an active part during the wars for national unification of Bulgaria. During the Second Balkan War, while being part of the Second Brigade of the 4th Preslavska Infantry Division, the Regiment fought in Macedonia in the area around the Zletovska River (June 17 – 23). Primorci distinguished themselves although facing an enemy numerically superior to them in the battles at Ratavica, „Razbiy glava“ Height, the villages of Neokazi and Drenak, they withstood the enemy’s pressure against Mount Ozren and managed to push out the Serbs with a bayonet attack at Beli and Yastremnik. Despite being very tired in the context of the continuous fighting with the Serbs, the soldiers of the 8th regiment continued to stand at their combat positions until their final withdrawal to the Kalimansko Plateau.
