http://books.stonebooks.com/subject/1000269/World War II in Yugoslav MacedoniaFinal operations for the liberation of MacedoniaUnder the leadership of the new Bulgarian pro-Soviet government, four Bulgarian armies, 455,000 strong in total, were mobilized and reorganized. By the end of September, the Red Army 3rd Ukrainian Front troops were concentrated at the Bulgarian-Yugoslav border. In the early October 1944 three Bulgarian armies, consisting of around 340,000-man,[55] together with the Red Army reentered occupied Yugoslavia and moved from Sofia to Niš, Skopje and Pristina to blocking the German forces withdrawing from Greece.[56][57] In Macedonia the Bulgarians operated in conjunction with the fighters of the MNLA, but this cooperation did not proceed without difficulties.[58] From 8 October to 19 November, the Stracin – Kumanovo operation was held and Kratovo, Kriva Palanka, Kumanovo and Skopje[59] were taken.
At the same time the Bregalnica – Strumica operation was led, and the Wehrmacht was driven from the villages of Delchevo, Kočani, Stip, Strumica and Veles.[60] Southern and Eastern Serbia, Kosovo and Vardar Macedonia were liberated by the end of November.[61][62] The 3rd Ukrainian Front in collaboration with the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia and Bulgarian People's Army carried out the Belgrade Offensive. The 130,000-strong Bulgarian First Army continued to Hungary, driving off the Germans, while the rest moved back to Bulgaria.
On a series of maps from Army Group E, showing its withdrawal through Macedonia and Southern Serbia, as well as in the memoirs of its chief of staff, there is almost no indication of Yugoslav Partisan units, but only Bulgarian divisions. Despite these facts, the contribution of Bulgarian troops is still much debated in the Republic of Macedonia for political reasons.[63][64]

CHAPTER XVII
Retreat and Encirclement
The Balkan Peninsula
Map 32

Map 33
In the last week of October the Russians and Bulgarians made strong bids to take Kraljevo and Skoplje. Having the troops to spare and the railroad, Loehr could meet the challenge, if in both places none too soon. On 2 November Army Group E stopped the Russians at Kraljevo and in the next several days halted the Bulgarians east of Skoplje. The success of the withdrawal through Macedonia was then assured.31 North of Skoplje the army group would have to veer west onto poorer roads, but it would be spared the almost certain disaster of a winter march through the coastal mountains.
Again Weichs' chief handicap was his own earlier indecision; he had potential reserves but no prospect of bringing them to bear in time. Army Group E's withdrawal had gone without a hitch through mid-November. Then, on the 18th, Bulgarian Second Army had opened a strong attack north of Skoplje.

Army Group E's withdrawal had gone without a hitch through mid-November. Then, on the 18th, Bulgarian Second Army had opened a strong attack north of Skoplje. The next day Balkan Air Force bombers had destroyed the Drina bridge at Visegrad, backing up truck and troop columns eighty five miles east to Kraljevo. In Albania strong partisan units hemmed XXI Mountain Corps in on all sides as it tried to join the retreat. Army Group E had to put back into its own front some of the troops it had intended to release, and the rest were stalled in central Yugoslavia 200 miles and more from where they could do any good.

Спогодбата има характер на примирие и е сключена между България и комунистическата съпротива в Югославия. Спогодбата е подписана със посредничеството на СССР.[1]
С подписването й между председателя на Националния комитет за освобождението на Югославия (НКОЮ) и делегацията на българското правителство на ОФ, официално се узаконява военното пребиваване на българската армия на югославска територия и военното сътрудничество с ЮНОВ. Спогодбата приема, че всички въпроси, които произтичат от междусъседските отношения и приятелското сътрудничество между България и Югославия “ще се решават в духа на братските и общи интереси на народите на Югославия и България”. (виж руския текст). Пред българската армия е поставена задачата да разгроми противниковите сили в Източна Сърбия и Вардарска Македония и да прекъсне пътя за отстъпление на германците по долините на р. Морава, Вардар и Ибар.
На практика обаче, Маршал Тито не иска българската армия да воюва на югославска територия и се съгласява на българското военно участие едва след личния натиск от Сталин, но с условието, българската армия да не превзема големите градове, а да спира пред тях и да дава възможност първи като освободители да влязат югославските партизани.https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B1%D0%B0_(1944)
