Interesting why the Macedonian "language" was codified in communist Yugoslavia to be more reminiscent of the Serbo-Croatian? Why Bulgarian letters like Ъ, Й and Я were removed? Why did you adopt Serbian letters? Why did the sound of Ъ that is distinct for Bulgarian got completely removed or changed with similar vowels like O,A and У?
I have photo from both Macedonian and International source :

"Decision about the Macedonian Alphabet 1 May 1945. Note it is written on Bulgarian typewriter using Й and there are hand-written Ѕ, Ј and Џ, and diacritics added to create Ѓ and Ќ. The rejection of the Ъ, together with the adoption of Ј, Џ, Љ and Њ, led to accusations of "Serbianization".[78][79][80]"
If we look at the sources numbered by 78, 79 and 80 we can see :
"78. When Blaze Koneski, the founder of the Macedonian standard language, as a young boy, returned to his Macedonian native village from the Serbian town where he went to school, he was ridiculed for his Serbianized language.Cornelis H. van Schooneveld, Linguarum: Series maior, Issue 20, Mouton., 1966, p. 295."
"79. ...However this was not at all the case, as Koneski himself testifies. The use of the schwa is one of the most important points of dispute not only between Bulgarians and Macedonians, but also between Macedonians themselves – there are circles in Macedonia who in the beginning of the 1990s denounced its exclusion from the standard language as a hostile act of violent serbianization...
