e/Ethnic Macedonians in Bulgaria

Information
has gloss	eng: Ethnic Macedonians in Bulgaria or Pirin Macedonians are a group mostly concentrated in the Pirin region of Macedonia. In the 2001 Bulgarian census, 5,071 . The Bulgarian Communist Party was compelled by Joseph Stalin to accept the formation of Macedonian, Thracian and Dobrujan nations in order to include those new separate states in a Balkan communist federation. There are strong indications that the majority of the population from Blagoevgrad province was listed as ethnic Macedonians against their will in the 1946 census. Not until much later did the process of Macedonian national identity formation gain momentum. The Greek communists as well as its fraternal parties in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, had already been influenced by the Comintern and it was the only political party in Greece to recognize Macedonian national identity. The region of Vardar Macedonia received the status of a constituent republic within Yugoslavia and in 1945 a separate Macedonian language was codified. The population was promulgated ethnic Macedonian, a nationality different from both Serbs and Bulgarians.

Slovenian
has gloss	slv: Makedonci Bolgarije ali Pirinski Makedonci so narodna manjšina, ki pretežno živi v Blagoevgradski oblasti (makedonsko:Pirinska Makedonija), ki je del Makedonske regije. V bolgarskem popisu prebivalstva iz leta 2001, se je 5,071 ljudi opredelilo za Makedonce. Makedonci so trenutno nepriznana manjšina, kot narodna manjšina pa so bili priznani med letoma 1947 do 1958. V tem obdobju je bolgarska vlada celo priznala makedonščino kot uradni jezik Pirinske Makedonije. Trenutna Bolgarska oblast trdi, da je bilo prebivalstvo Pirinske Makedonije prisiljeno opredeliti se za Makedonce, ker je tako zahtevala Sovjetska Zveza, pravtako Bolgarija ne priznava obstoj Makedoncev kot naroda, saj meni da je to zgolj regionalna opredelitev.
