The fact that they require a translator when visiting Bulgaria is a farce. Although, again, I don't believe there are differences between them and the Serbs, for example, any more so than there is a difference between Serb/Croat language. <BR/><BR/>It is my belief that if there is any linguistiq differences, they are self made by the Macedoine slavs. Because by attempting to emphasize linguistic differences, they are somehow, I believe, are attempting to create some new ethnicity. And that only contributes to more instability in the region.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
