Bulgarian Human Rights in Macedonia or BHRM (Greek: Βουλγαρικά Ανθρώπινα Δικαιώματα στη Μακεδονία - ΒΑΔΜ, Bulgarian: Български човешки права в Македония - БЧПМ) is a political organization based in the Greek city of Thessaloniki advocating recognition and promotion of the human rights of the ethnic Bulgarian minorities in northern Greece (primarily in Macedonia) and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. It was founded in July 2000 by Nicholas Stojanov and almost instantly caused controversy. According to organization's constitution, national borders need to be redrawn so that "there is a more fair distribution of land" - the Greek newspaper To Ethnos alleged that the organization was being financed by the then Bulgarian Prime Minister, Simeon Sakskoburggotski, who however denied the allegation.

There is no official data confirming that there really is a Bulgarian minority in Greece today, since no linguistic or ethnic census has been held since 1951. It should be noted though that the Politis-Kalfov protocol signed on September 29, 1925 purported to recognize the Slav-speakers of Macedonia as Bulgarians, but this protocol was never ratified. A short lived agreement was signed August 1926, which recognized them as a Serbian minority[1].
