Thanks for that, yeah I have seen that and IMRO/VMRO the most.

Unfortunately that is the way it seems in the current climate.

I think in official Macedonian hisoriography, VMRO is used to refer to the revolutionary groups in the 1920s and 30s, and MRO is reserved for the original organisation from 1893.

Yeah I feel like that's the case too.

The External Representation of the MRO is often thought of as been solely located in Sofia but in Lape's The Foreign Branch of the Secret Macedonian Odrin Revolutionary Organisation, he makes known that less-official branches also operated in Athens, Constantinople and Geneva. Little is known of these branches other than their existence, which are largely cited in the memoirs of Ǵorče Petrov.
