The '''Unity Committee''' (Единство, ''Edinstvo'') was an organization supporting the Bulgarian population of [[Thrace]] and [[Macedonia (region)|Macedonia]], remained within the [[Ottoman Empire]] after the division of the [[Treaty of San Stefano|San Stefano Bulgaria]] and the decision of the [[Treaty of Berlin (1878)|Berlin Treaty]]. First Committee "Unity" was established on August 29, 1878, in [[Veliko Tarnovo]]. Its main objective was enshrined in the Constitutive protocol: Unity of all Bulgarians and their wellness today. The initiative for this belonged to [[Lyuben Karavelov]], [[Stefan Stambolov]] and [[Hristo Ivanov - Golemia]]. The goal of this new committee was to create such committees around the country of Bulgaria. Soon after ''Edinstvo'' was formed in Tarnovo, steps were taken to spread it to all towns in Bulgaria and [[Eastern Rumelia]] as well. People were also sent to Macedonia. As a consequence the [[Kresna-Razlog Uprising]] was organized.<ref>Doyno Doynov.
