Makedonsko delo (Bulgarian: Македонско дело) was a Bulgarian newspaper connected to the IMRO (United) and came out on the 10th and 25th of each month. It was printed in Berlin, Vienna, and Paris. The newspaper started on September 10, 1925, and had notable people like Dimitar Vlahov, Vladimir Pop Tomov, and Pavel Shatev.[4] In total, 179 issues were published,[5] with the last one on May 25, 1935. In its time, the newspaper stood out as one of the few supporting the idea of an independent Macedonian nation.

During the 1920s there were many Macedonian activist in foreign land, the most notable ones being IMRO (United) which had bases in Vienna and Istanbul, the group in Vienna had a big disagreement with the one in Istanbul, mostly because the Istanbul supported the Comintern while the other disliked how the Comintern handled the Macedonian question

In 1924 there was a meeting with IMRO members from all over Eastern Europe, some of which sided with the group in Vienna, since then the groups were divided into two, those who supported the Comintern formed another newspaper known as "Makedonsko samoznanie" (Macedonian self-education) and the other formed Makedonsko delo.[1]

Makedonsko delo began to publish issues in September 10, 1925, the first issue was edited by Dimitar Vlahov, and he was the main editors of the first few editions before Vladimir Pop Tomov became the main editor. The main mission of the newspaper was the unity of Macedonia and all of its regions and to create a seperate nations for the Macedonians, or for the inclusion of Macedonia into a Balkan federation.[1]

The main editor Vladamir Pop Tomov also used multiple fake names in order to hide his name such as the fake name "V. Gramov".[6] As soon as the newspaper began becoming popular it was banned in Yugoslavia due to spreading pro-Macedonian concepts in Vardar Macedonia which it was trying to supress. The newspaper was also anti-fascist and was aganist Nazi Germany.[6]

According to Pavel Shatev, one of the founders of the newspaper in one of its issues in october 1925 stated:

The Macedonian Delo is national, it is developing independently, it is moving towards its national-political and economic independence, towards its separation into a separate national-political unit, towards its state unity

— Pavel Shatev, 25th of October 1925, [7]

Eventually the newspaper would begin to support the Comintern in 1934 after the Resolution of the Comintern on the Macedonian question which it helped in making, it also published the text in its own newspaper.[8]
