Free translation in English:
" We, the Macedonians, we are not Serbs nor Bulgarians. The Macedonian nation exists and is different from the Bulgarian and the Serbian. We sympathize them and others who help in our fight for freedom, and we are thankful to them, but Bulgarians and Serbs must understand that Macedonia is for the Macedonians..."
