The fact that the act of the assimilation of the proto-Bulgars by the Slavs had already finished by the beginning of the 10th century, so the Slavs can't have rebelled against the Bulgarians; nevertheless, no historian describes those people as Slavs, everywhere they are presented as Bulgars.

We did not begin interviewing elders in Bitola or in the mountain villages until after the end of the Kosovo conflict in June 1999, partly because we felt it was inappropriate to try to commence such a project during the conflict.
We have discovered that the speaking of Aromanian in Bitola has declined precipitously in the last 90 years and especially in the last 50 years, and even in the historically "Vlach" neighborhoods it is increasingly rare to hear the ancient language on the street, where Macedonian is spoken by all.
In Bitola in 1999 the Brothers Manaki society, which had been meeting in a government building (part of the museum complex), was told that it was in arrears and would lose that space which also held its library.

On 5 March 1997 the inscription came in possession of Stojanov by legal way (purchased in Albania).I t was found accidentally by an Albanian worker inside Voden's old cathedral and declared lawfully to Greek Minister of Culture who kept silence and omitted to respond.
Stojanov announced his decision to donate the inscription to Bulgaria and Dr. Dimitrov accepted his offer but insisted that inscription was not written in 989 A.D. but falsified during Bulgarian National Revival period of 1870-1893 by Bulgarian patriots of Voden who forged it for religious purposes.

Ethnic Albanians were outraged by a rumor that the statue was supposed to carry an inscription, “a Macedonian daughter.” It was reported that while is fairly well established that Mother Teresa’s mother was Albanian, many believe her father, Nikola Bojaxhiu, was a Vlach.
Pavolvic’s idea is that these gardens and the mansions they surround are a visual way for this ethnic group with an essentially unwritten language to “speak” to the culture that surrounds them.
The newspaper once enjoyed the Macedonian government’s support, but the economic situation in the struggling country is so poor that as of 2004, the government had to end this subsidy.

The excavation of the statue of Titus Flavius Orestus, with its Greek inscription, meant the unearthing of a dark, dramatic, historical secret from the end of the Third Century A.D.: The indifference of the barbarian, for whom this statue meant nothing else but a massive marble block--a foundation for his building of stone and mud.
The harmonious proportions, the inner firmness of a young and congenial female body of the second statue with a Greek inscription--a gift from an inhabitant of Heraclea, Julia Tertila, and having the usual attributes (the scales and a bow)--suggest the splendour of the goddess of justice and destiny: Nemesis.
