Bulgarian soldiers versus IMRO militants.
Hi, Catlemur, may you explain this your edit? At the eve of the WWI the IMRO set up a set of committees which aim was to incorporate thousands of Macedonian militants and deserters by the Serbian Army into the regular Bulgarian Army. The fact that these paramilitary companies joined the Bulgarian Army marked a significant change in the way they were conducting war. At the beginning they formed the 11th Macedonian Infantry Division, and later other special units called guerrilla companies. IMRO entrance into the Bulgarian Army towards the end of 1915 contributed to the defeat and occupation of Serbia, and the unification of Macedonia with Bulgaria. In fact they were then regular Bulgarian soldiers and former IMRO militants. Regards.Jingiby (talk) 10:53, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
