The news of their deliberations inspired a group of patriots in Tŭrnovo to form a 'Unity Committee', with the aim of 'helping to improve the wretched condition of Bulgarians remaining outside the bounds of Danube Bulgaria.''

First Committee "Unity" was established on August 29, 1878, in [[Veliko Tarnovo]]. Its main objective was enshrined in the Constitutive protocol: Unity of all Bulgarians and their wellness today. The initiative for this belonged to [[Lyuben Karavelov]], [[Stefan Stambolov]] and [[Hristo Ivanov - Golemia]]. The goal of this new committee was to create such committees around the country of Bulgaria. Soon after ''Edinstvo'' was formed in Tarnovo, steps were taken to spread it to all towns in Bulgaria and [[Eastern Rumelia]] as well. People were also sent to Macedonia. As a consequence the [[Kresna-Razlog Uprising]] was organized.<ref>Doyno Doynov.
