In other words, he returns to the views concerning linguistic and
national boundaries between Serbo-croats, and Bulgarians which he
expressed during his period of study at the University of St
Petersburg (1897-1902). It is obvious that he identifies the
geographical boundaries in which a Slavic idiom or dialect has been
spread and is spoken with the national boundaries of the people which
he regards as its bearer. In other words, he adopts the then widely
prevalent view and from the Slavic academic world, according to which
the uniqueness and autonomy of a people's language is a necessary
condition for the recognition of its national uniqueness and autonomy.
