Summary/Abstract: The "Otbor-" or selection of Serb teachers to be sent to- Macedonia and Old Serbia represents one of the most flagrant examples of the assimilatory aspirations of Serbia with regard to the Bulgarian population in Macedonia during XlXth с The emergence and work of the said propagandaoriented organisation are an understudied issue which is by rule associated with Milosh Miloevich's policy in the region. By using new, unexplored materials from the archives of lliya Garashanin, Yovan Ristich, the Serb Ministry of Education, plus memoirs of eminent political figures and the press, the article sheds light on previously unknown aspects in the functioning of the Serb propaganda in the 1870s when the stand of the Serb government concerning Macedonia, was already clearly formulated.
