Formally said, history is the only that matters.

Yes, but what they feel and what they in fact are, don't always coincide.

If they say they are not Bulgarians then they are not Bulgarians....it's that clear.
Honestly said, I don't care. Interestingly, if a sub-saharan african identifies himself as croat (a proud black hrvat, for example) would you admit that he belongs to your nation? As you would say: "what it matters how these people feel and identify themeselves" ! (see above).

I cannot force Bosniaks to admit they are Croats if they don't want to...no one can.
Of course
