		The predominant view of a Bulgarian character of the Slavs in Macedonia was reflected in the borders of future autonomous Bulgaria as drawn by the Constantinople Conference in 1876 and by the Treaty of San Stefano in 1878.
		The term "Macedonian Slavs" was used by scholars and publicists in two general meanings: as a politically convenient term to define the Slavs of Macedonia without offending Serbian and Bulgarian nationalism; as an obscure group of Slavs different from both Serbs and Bulgarians, yet closer to the Bulgarians.
		In 1946 the population of Pirin Macedonia was declared Slav Macedonian, in anticipation of the future incorporation of the region into the Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and of the admission of Bulgaria into the Yugoslav Federation.

		The Macedonian Slavs are an ethnic group which inhabits the wider Macedonian region and speaks the Macedonian language.
		Though the majority of the Macedonian Slavs regarded themselves as Bulgarians before the Balkan Wars, there was a substantial pro-Greek faction in southern Macedonia and a smaller pro-Serbian one in northern Macedonia.
		After the Balkan Wars, the Macedonian Slavs from northeastern Greece were forcefully resettled in Bulgaria, whereas those living in north-western Greece came under severe pressure, especially after the Greek-Turkish population exchanges of the 1920s, with many forced to leave the country and emigrate, for the most part, to Canada and Australia.

		Macedonian Slavs couldn't have been simply moved to Macedonians, as this would have broken the disambiguation.
		As for "Macedonian Slavs", it is not the Greek preference for what people X should be called (Greeks almost always call you Skopjans); it is a compromise between two otherwise irreconcilable POVs and an objective description of what people X are.
		Slavs are a larger group of people and using Slavs as an ethnic identifier dissapeared in the Middle Ages, in the slow process of nation building and mixing with the other inhabitants of the region where Slavs have lived.

	Why the Macedonians are not "Macedonian Slavs"?
		This "Slav" claim was an old communistic propaganda influenced by Russia and Yugoslavia during the period while Macedonia was part of communist Yugoslavia (1945-1991) and both Gligorov and Veselinov were tough this line of the official then history, dictated by Slav Russia and Serbia (Yugoslavia).
		And most convincing of all the fact that the genetic research had proven that the Macedonians are not Slavs but have a direct descent from the ancient Macedonians.
		The Macedonians in the Republic of Macedonia, and Macedonian minorities in Greece, Bulgaria, and Albania, continue to proudly call themselves "Macedonians" and consider the "Slav" label an insult and racial slur.

	Macedonian Slavs
		Northern parts of the province came under Serbian rule, southern under Greece, eastern under Bulgaria, and each of the occupying countries is said to have imposed their ethnic designation on these people.
		The creation of the state that shares the name with a wider region was seen by many as an expression of territorial pretensions towards neighbouring states, especially coupled with the usage of symbols from ancient Macedon.
		However, the Macedonian Slavs have since largely modified their stance, their symbols and the constitution of their state in an attempt to avoid such an implication.

	The Slavs in the Balkans
		There it is indicated that the Macedonians and the Slavs took part in the siege of Thessaloniki as members of two opposed parties.
		The invaders were the Slavs who lived in the vicinity of Thessaloniki, as stated by Byzantine sources; by the middle of the 9th century "all the Thessaloniki people spoke pure Slavic", to cite the same sources.
		From the 8th century onwards, a number of sources confirm that the Macedonian sclavenes were in fact already assuming the shape of states with well-trained and relatively well-equipped armies, particulary in heavy infantry.

		The Macedonian Slavs are primarily the descendants of the Slavic and Bulgar tribes which settled Macedonia during the Middle Ages, but it is likely that their ancestry includes an element of autochthonous groups such as the Thracians and Illyrians.
		The plain name "Macedonians" is ambiguous, and as two thirds of the inhabitants of Macedonia belong to other ethnic groups who also call themselves Macedonians; for the sake of clarity this article uses the term "Macedonian Slavs".
		The Macedonian Slavs were traditionally described as Bulgarians by external observers until 1878 when an opinion on a Serbian origin of the Macedonian Slavs gradually started to gain popularity.

	Macedonian Slavs riot over Nato peace deal [Free Republic] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		SLAV nationalists stormed the Macedonian parliament in Skopje last night, as up to 10,000 people demonstrated against their government's co-operation with Nato in escorting besieged Albanian rebels to safety in an effort to bring peace to the country.
		Slav paramilitary organisers were believed to be behind the protests, which followed a deal between Nato, the Macedonian government and Albanian rebels whereby the self-styled National Liberation Army was allowed to leave the Skopje suburb of Aracinovo under heavy Nato escort after being pinned down by four days of heavy government artillery and tank fire.
		Macedonians seemed to think that the Albanian issue would never come up in their own country where Albanians were represented in govt etc. Many of the Macedonians I know say that they'd never seen a map of Greater Albania and thought that it was a problem which wouldn't reach them.
