Summary/Abstract: The author publishes three new documents from the fund of the historical museum in Blagoevgrad which reveal the intention of Yugoslavia to annex Pirin Macedonia to the “federal democratic Tito Yugoslavia” planned at the end of August, the beginning of September 1944. The three letters from the headquarters of the III and the IV Macedonian People’s Liberation Brigade, sent to the partisan detachment of Gorna Dzumaja “Nikola Kalupchiev” show the desire of the Yugoslav state to annex Pirin Macedonia to Yugoslavia under the cover of the so-called national unification of the Macedonian people. For that purpose, the partisan forces must be drawn into that region and the heavy internal and external situation of Bulgaria must be used.
