It is desirable to create a separate article about this issue, which I am planning. Macedonian Slavs is a term common mostly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the whole region which is now divided among 6 countries, was still under Ottoman rule. It covered the entire Slavic-speaking population, regardless of its ethnic and religious affiliation. Jovan Cvijić claimed in his distinct theory in 1906 the "Macedonian Slavs" were an amorphous Slavic mass that was neither Bulgarian, nor Serbian but could turn out either Bulgarian or Serbian if the respective people were to rule the region. There are a lot of reliable sources confirming this view.
