Summary/Abstract: Relations between Yugoslavia and Bulgaria were clouded in the beginning of the twentieth century by the unresolved Macedonian issue. The Macedonian Committee in Sophia gathered once again in 1919 the members of the Macedonian Organization and financed its activities in the hope of turning the attention of the world to this problem. Beginning with 1920, the Macedonian Committee continually sent its terrorists to the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenians. The purpose of this intense activity of the Macedonian Committee was: - to instill a feeling of insecurity in the minds of those who did not uphold the politics of the Macedonian Committee; - to arouse distrust in the ability of the authorities of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenians to provide sufficient protection for the Macedonian population. The Macedonian Committee presented the large number of terrorist actions and dead civilians to the world as being the Macedonians’ latent revolt and their struggle for independence.
