Young Macedonian Literary Society

The organization was established in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1891 as a type of cultural and educational society by Macedonian emigrants.

[6] In 1892, it created and published a monthly magazine called Loza (The Vine), which is where their name "Lozari" (Lozars) was derived from.

[5] The first issue of the magazine was printed in Sofia in January 1892 and its main article contained the Program Principles of the organization.

[9] Later, for a short time, Dame Gruev, Gotse Delchev, Luka Dzherov, Ivan Hadzhinikolov and Hristo Matov were also involved in the company.

The Greek national activist from Aromanian background Konstantinos Bellios was considered a "Macedonian compatriot" by the Lozars.

"[7] An article in the official People's Liberal Party newspaper "Svoboda" blamed the organization for lack of loyalty and separatism.

The Young Macedonian Literary Society's magazine Loza adhered to the Bulgarian position on the issue of the Macedonian Slavs' ethnicity, it also favored revising the Bulgarian orthography by bringing it closer to the dialects spoken in Macedonia.
