Prof. Dr Spas Tashev of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, a researcher on Balkan history, demography and geopolitics and author of the study "The Fights of the Macedonian Bulgarians for Rights and Independence - 68 Cases from the Period 1944-1994". Macedonia Day in Bulgaria is always celebrated on a movable date - the 51st day after Easter.
