They are one people split by differing ideologies and influences from neighboring states.

Slavophone Greeks

Macedono-Bulgarians

Ethnic Macedonians

They all look the same, speak the same language and are the same people - Slavic Macedonians, or just Macedonians.

Same people. Same traditions, like for weddings and stuff. Same language continuum. Genetically the same also.

I know it's controversial in Macedonia, but I think it's good Macedonians and Bulgarians are celebrating Ilinden together these days

Perhaps Slavophone Greeks will join us one day

of course, Bulgarian-speaking people are Bulgarians. I think Bulgaria has also a much more interesting recent history than Macedonia so I don't understand why the people in the country called Macedonia don't want to identify as Bulgarians and unite the countries.

the same goes for the Serbs, just being of a different religion doesn't make you another ethnicity, so I think Catholic Serbs (aka Croats) and Muslim Serbs (aka Bosniaks) should go and form the same state again (I don't understand what made Montenegro escape Serbia too, and will Vojvodina do the same? LOL Balkans)
