That is Vida Boeva on the left who was Mihajlov's secretary. Vida Boeva was is also the sister of the ex Minister for Sport Boris Boev in Ljubco Georgievski's 1998 government.

She has a dosier on her where she had dealings with the Yugoslav Secret service.

Going off that interview alone, seems clear he was a Vrhovist. His early memoirs speak of Macedonia independent of Bulgaria though.

He and many others argued for an independent Macedonia in the early 20th century after recognizing that calling for annexation of Macedonia to Bulgaria outright would backfire. The goal was to first achieve an autonomous/independent Macedonia, which Western powers and Balkan states were more likely to agree with, and then hope (or encourage) an independent Macedonia to eventually turn toward Bulgaria. The thinking was, at worst, the Bulgarians would be where the Albanians are today with Albania and Kosovo.

What other Macedonian figures do you believe felt this way?

Hristo Trajkov accused Mihailov of 'co-operating with the palace'

Yeah, this has been declassified for a while. I found it several months ago.

Mihajlov was an opportunist and played everyone he could to stay relevant and in power.

That is very very interesting.

I just hope the UDBA files on Mihajlov are released one day, if they're not in the Macedonian archives, they surely are in Belgrade.

Mihajlov was author of an article in Balkania that stated that Macedonians were Bulgarians.

Mihajlov was author of an article in Balkania that stated that Macedonians were Bulgarians.

I believe he stated that in his book "Macedonia - Switzerland of the Balkans" too and also in articles he sent in for MPO's Macedonian Tribune.

Do you have the Balkania article?
