The Provisional Government of Macedonia

“ Much like if someone is trying to hide her victorious nature with the veil of oblivion. Conspirators have dug her grave and roam through our land, injecting poisons in her. These conspirators are the undertakers of our glorious and great fatherland, they want to dismember it and lay it as a prayer in front of the victorious army of Austria-Hungary. ”

“ The hour to fight against our ancient enslaver is approaching. Prepare for it as faithful sons of suffering Macedonia. Forget mutual disagreements, for we are all its sons regardless of faith and nationality. ”

“ Do not believe our neighbors who have slipped amongst us like snakes and cheat us for their own interests. Join together under the Macedonian flag and raise it high, high in the struggle for freedom and independence. ”

“ With uneasiness in our heart we decide for this step knowing that the struggle will be hard and bloody, but we are forced to take into our hands the destiny of our fatherland. We believe no more in promises when the blood of the victims calls us to vengeance. ”

“ We are not anymore prepared to accept other people creating our destiny, to stand before their doors and expect mercy from cruel hearts. Today we have our Macedonian army in our mountains, which might not yet be numerous, but with God's help and yours will become strong. ”

“ If you proclaim these words, you will be greeted by the free thinking nations and all graceful hears will hurry up to join you and fight with you, to help you gain the holy freedom that has been taken away from us for so many centuries. ”
