The Kyustendil Congress (1908) and the Separation within IMARO

IMARO’s Kyustendil congress that took place in the spring of 1908, was called and took place in the atmosphere of severe organizational crisis and a deepening feud. The Congress had neither the abilities, nor the inclination to restore the unity of the revolutionary organization. It simply confirmed the factual state of affairs, while at the same time it managed to consolidate the greater part of IMARO and prepare it for the new challenges the organization had yet to face.
