Serbs and Bulgarians: A Historical-Political Essay

Serbs and Bulgarians: A Historical-Political Essay, by Milutin D. Nešić (published in Novi Sad in 1919) is an essay that offers a historical and political analysis of the relationship between Serbs and Bulgarians. Nešić delves into the shared origins and cultural ties of the two South Slav nations, while also exploring the political developments that fragmented their unity over time.

Though initially linked by common linguistic and ethnic roots, shifting political interests and religious and national institutions gradually drove them apart. Nešić examines how external influences, particularly ecclesiastical structures like the Bulgarian Exarchate, contributed to the growing distance and rivalry between the two peoples. His work is reflective and analytical, emphasizing unity overshadowed by division in their intertwined histories.
