Serbomans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serbomans (Bulgarian: сърбомани, sărbomani, Macedonian: србомани, srbomani) (singular Serboman) is a Bulgarian-Macedonian pejorative term for local Slavic people that live in the region of Macedonia and claim to belong to Serbian ethnicity, that support the Serbian national ideals or officially declare themselves as Serbs.[1] It is also used pejoratively by Bulgarians to refer to Macedonians who refuse the Bulgarian national idea.[2] The origin of the term is unclear. It first appeared during the time of the Serbian-Bulgarian rivalry for present-day Macedonia.[3]
