We all know St. Cyril and St. Methodius were from Macedonia and that they spoke the Macedonian dialect of Slavonic as their native language, but they were Romans first and foremost and to them it mattered little from which part of the Empire someone came or what was his/her native language. Such a concept like "Macedonian nationality" as we have today did not exist back then, nor did any other nationality exist as well. The only thing that did exist was identifying oneself with the state one lived in. Romans were all the subjects of the (Eastern) Roman Empire, Bulgarians were all the subjects of the Bulgarian Empire.
As for Cyrillic, could you provide some reference to your claim? The Ohrid school used Glagolitic until Cyrillic was introduced from Preslav from Bulgaria. Or is that too much disturbing, to think that it was the Bulgarians who invented the Cyrillic script, even though such distinction as Macedonian and Bulgarian did not exist a thousand years ago. You keep your modern issues out of history.
