[1] During Danev's first period of Prime Minister (which began on 4 January 1902) the question of the Macedonians came to the fore.

In 1902 the group launched an uprising in the Struma River region, although it was put down and Danev, under advice from Russia, outlawed the movement.

[2] Danev went on to serve in a number of moderate coalition governments and was a signatory of the Treaty of London.

When it became clear that Tsar Ferdinand did not intend honouring the treaty Danev was chosen to succeed Ivan Evstratiev Geshov as Prime Minister, although his second ministry proved brief.

[3] At the age of 91 years, 183 days, Danev was the oldest Prime Minister in the history of Bulgaria.
