I recently came across this article in the Macedonian newspaper from Blagoevgrad,Bulgaria called "Narodna volja".
It is concentrating on one of Bulgaria's attempts to present the mass shooting of 1945 in Veles,Resen and Kumanovo not as shooting of anti-communists,collaborators etc.,but as shootings of "Bulgarians that refused to accept the newly formed Macedonian nationality by the communist authorities in Yugoslavia".They are presenting these people as martyrs of communism and trying to distort the real events in order to push their propaganda forward.
Don't know if this event has been debated elsewhere on this forum,but nonetheless here's a link to the article (including statement from the son of one of the killed in those shootings),it dates from 2009 but I think it deserves to be on this forum.
