The paper presents relevant data, official archive and valuable memoire material on general situation and social and political circumstances in Turkey among its Christian subjects, first of all, between Macedonian Serbs and Bulgarians and their relationship which had been the most important factor that influenced the situation in Turkey, i.e. in Monastir vilajet. In eight chapters, the paper examines Turkish administration, work of Egzarhija and VMRO and their work on Bulgarisation of the local “Srboman” – the “Patriarchists”, i.e. the Macedonian Serbs, their resistance to the Bulgarisation, the work of the Serbian national municipalities, schools and churches under the jurisdiction of the Residence of the Patriarch, creation and development of the Chetnick movement for the defense from violence and murders of the committee groups, the role and importance of Bitolj, Prilep, Kruševo, Poreč, Kičevo and Debarski Drimkol for the state and national politics of Serbia in Macedonia. Special attention is paid on the attacks of Egzarhija, Macedonian committee VMRO and their aggressive assaults on all “Srboman” villages; data on prominent men with Serbian national commitment, the most famous personas of the Serbian church and school organization, as well as the participants of the movement, etc. The paper refers to the period from the end of the 19th century up to the Young Turkish revolution.
