Well, maybe we are not. I don't know for sure. I don't know much about serbs' origin. I know for a fact though that, when we were under communist slavery we were all Slavs. But I think there's a huge ethnical difference between Slavs and Bulgarians, or Serbs for that matter.

I don't know about Cyrillic alphabet...Bulgarians say that st.Cyrill and st.Methodius were Bulgarians,FYROMers say that they were "macedonians",Greeks say that they were Greeks etc.Who should i trust,then?

First of all, there's no such thing as "macedonians". They are Bulgarians, sorry. And the Greeks - they wanted all, but unfortunately (for them) St. Cyrill and St. Methodius were Bulgarians. I think there's no doubt about that, at least for me.

and don't get me wrong,i don't want to start a new discussion on Cyrillic alphabet,just want to say that Bulgarians are Slavs...proto-Bulgars aren't...you should know that...after all,your nickname is Rodozashtitnik,which means Kinprotector,in both Serbian and Bulgarian language...
Proto-Bulgarians and nowadays Bulgarians are ethnically the same. There's a lot of information about that, but I think you are confusing language and ethnical aspect. The Bulgarian language is a mixture of proto-Bulgarian and Slavic words. Yes, our languages are resembled, but they are not entirely the same.
