The Balkan states, which formed their political unity in the
XIX century, developed various methods for strengthening their
positions. Those states whose infrastructure does not have powerful
armed forces contribute to the formation of troops and gangs of
people in the region, using the reaction and unrest of the Ottoman
Empire among the population to achieve their political goals
regarding Macedonia.
A reflection of the growing activity of organizations in the
Balkans in the Western world at the end of the XIX century was
influenced by the fact that in the XX century, Europeans considered
the inhabitants of the Balkans as organizations that killed civilians
fighting against each other.1 The reason for this reflection was the
actions of organizations organized by the Balkan states with the
indirect support of European states and attached to the Macedonian
people.2
