Good - you are interested in bulgarian history. So - tell me Branislave what is your opinion about the San Stefano Bulgaria? The real Bulgaria that our russian brothers created?
And what about the western plan of the Carigrad conferention 1876 for creation of 2 authonomic provinces which included all our ethnic lands of Moesia, Thrace and Macedonia?
You want to tell me that was an western chauvinistic plan? Heheheheh, or russian maybe?
Let's just tell the truth in this forum - enough lies.

what lies? Any way this is a senseless debate You want to expand your territory and kick Serbs when they are down fortunately not all Bulgarians think like you with your "we should have helped them only if they give us the western outlands" so what does that mean if we don't what screw the Serbs let them die let their churches be destroyed we could care less ... that is in essence what you are saying in that case we don't need that kind of "help"
In 443 Attila the Hun conquers Naissus so are you a Hun or a Slav? from emperor Julian.
The last half of the 6th century CE saw the first major migrations of Slavs and Avars. During the 6th and 7th century CE, Slavic tribes made eight attempts to take Niš . During the final attack in
615 CE the invaders took the city, and most of the Roman population fled or perished, but some small traces survived in the local Vlach population. The city and nearby arable land were settled by Slavs.
conveniently
Part of the
White Serbs migrated to the Balkans in
610-641 led by the Unknown Archont.
Its name stems from old word for "black" ("vran") in Serbian language and first appears in 1093, in the Alexiad by Greek royal Anna Comnena.
It should be noted that term "Bulgarians" was in the past used as a designation for all Slavs hence a record that somebody was "Bulgarian" was simply a description of his Slavic origin, not of his Bulgarian origin in modern sense

meanwhile the Serbs had Slavic names since
Dervan (Drvan) — ruler of White Serbia (Bojka) until 626
I also think that bulgars and serbs are the closest nations on the Balkans - after all we are southern slavs - one tribe, one nation. But you assimilated the Khans & Thracians etc , and Serbs - the natives of that territory . The genetic difference is very small. Well - Serbs may have more Slavic blood, because the proto bulgars in Moesia and Thrace were much more numerous.
origin of the word Khan
"Khan" was the official title of the ruler until 864 CE, when Kniaz Boris (known also as Tsar Boris I) adopted the Eastern Orthodox faith.
Khan (sometimes spelled as Xan, Han, Ke-Han) is a title with many meanings. It means commander, leader or ruler, in Mongolian and Turkic languages. Khan also means a leader of a tribe. In the past Khan title used in Rumelia in Kailar, Turkick Persia, Turkick Crimea ,Afganistan,India and Anatolia for especially Ottomans destiny. Presently Khans exist mostly in South Asia, Central Asia and Iran. The female alternative is Khatan and Khanum. Most of Afghans (Hazaras and Pashtuns) have the name Khan. The Mongols had brought the name "Khan" in Afghanistan, which, later was adopted by locals in the country. Khagan is rendered as Khan of Khans and was the title of Genghis Khan and the other Khagans (his direct male descendants).
. Starting from the compound, non-ruler titles that were attested among Bulgarian noble class such as kavkhan (vicekhan), tarkhan, and boritarkhan, scholars derive the title khan for the early Bulgarian leader — if there was a vicekhan (kavkhan) there was probably a "full" khan, too. In fact, the inscriptions speak of archontеs (commander or magistrate in Greek) and knyaze (duke or prince in Slavic).
The greatest Bulgar clan was the "Dulo". The Bulgar Khans came to prominence in the fourth and fifth centuries CE, when the they came to Europe. Among the best known Bulgar khans were: Khan Kubrat, founder of Great Bulgaria; Khan Asparukh, founder of Danubian Bulgaria (today's Bulgaria); Khan Tervel, "The savior of Europe"; Khan Krum, "the Terrible".
Here are claims that the Dulo clan is descended from Attila the Hun. It is also likely that they were somewhat related to the Ashina clan.
Ashina (also Asen or Asena), the ruling dynasty of the ancient Turks, according to Xin Tangshu they were related to the northern tribes from Xiongnu, though four theories were already established prior to the present under Zhoushu, Suishu and Youyang Zazu from as early as the 7th-century.[1] The Ashina rose to prominence in the mid 500s when their leader, Bumin Khan, revolted against the Juan Juan (Rouran). The two main branches of the family, one descended from Bumin and the other from his brother Istemi Khagan, ruled over the eastern and western parts of the Göktürk empire, respectively.
After the collapse of the Göktürk empire, branches of the Ashina clan seized control of the Khazars and possibly other nomadic peoples. To Marquart, the Ashina clan constituted a noble caste throughout the steppes. Similarly, the Tatar historian Zeki Validi Togan described them as a "desert aristocracy" that provided rulers for a number of Eurasian nomad states.
Accounts of the Göktürk and Khazar khaganates suggest that the Ashina clan was accorded sacred, perhaps quasi-divine status in the shamanic religion practiced by the steppe nomads of the first millennium CE.
Isbul's campaign may have resulted in the establishment of Bulgarian suzerainty over the Slavic tribe of the Smoljani.
Presian's reign apparently coincides with the extension of Bulgarian control over the Slavic tribes in and around Macedonia. However, Presian's campaigns against the Serbs in about 839–842 failed miserably. By the end of Presian's reign Serbia and Bulgaria lived in an uneasy peace.
The Timočani joined the First Bulgarian Empire after Khan Krum conquered the lands of the Eurasian Avars in 805. In 818, [2] during the rule of Omurtag (814-836) they, together with other border tribes of the Bulgarian Empire, revolted because of an administrative reform that deprived them of much of their local authority, and sought protection from Holy Roman Emperor Louis the Pious. Omurtag decided to settle the matter by means of diplomatics in 824-826, but his letters were not replied to by Louis. This forced Omurtag to undertake a boat campaign on the Drava in 827 and 829, bringing the separatists back under the control of the Bulgarian state and appointing local governors.
The Timočani were assimilated in the Serbian and Bulgarian ethnicity later in the Middle Ages.
