Controversy
There has been a long going dispute between parties in Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia about the ethnic affiliation of the two brothers. As a consequence when the Macedonian State Archive displayed a photocopy of the book in cooperation with the Soros Foundation, the text on the cover was simply "Folk Songs", compared to "Bulgarian Folk Songs" on the original one (the upper part of the page showing "Bulgarian" has been cut off). There is a similar case with the national museum of the Republic of Macedonia which, apparently, refuses to display original works by the two brothers, because of the Bulgarian labels on some of them.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
