The rules of the Macedonian Rebel Committee of the Kresna Uprising
It is well known to all of us that this ill-fated country of ours, Macedonia, owing to the egoistic aims of the Great Powers, was gain left to Turkey after the Congress of Berlin.
As a result of that, in certain regions of our fatherland many scenes full full of blood, known to all of us, took place….
We rebelled as advocates of freedom.
With the blood we shed all over Macedonian fields and forests, we serve freedom, as the Macedonian army of Alexander of Macedon did, with our slogan “Freedom or Death!”.
The aim of the Uprising in Macedonia;
1. The uprising in Macedonia…should be extended all over Macedonia.2. Those people from Macedonia who feel themselves to be Macedonians and love the freedom of their fatherland are taking part in the uprising.
