The SLS even included the initiative for a state union with Bulgaria in its programme in 1923, and Korošec travelled to Sofia in 1927 at the King’s initiative and met with Bulgarian statesmen. When the Stojadinović government concluded a friendship pact with Bulgaria in 1936, it was enthusiastically welcomed by the SLS. In the years leading up to the Second World War, the idea of unification of the two countries was no longer discussed, but in autumn 1941, together with the Liberals, it was included in the programme sent to LondonAvtor opozarja na zavzemanje Slovenske ljudske stranke z Antonom Koroščem na čelu za prijateljske odnose Kraljevine SHS in njeno državno zvezo z Bolgarijo. V SLS so pobudo za državno zvezo z Bolgarijo leta 1923 celo vključili v svoj program in Korošec je leta 1927 na kraljevo pobudo odpotoval v Sofijo ter se sestal z bolgarskimi državniki. Ko je Stojadinovićeva vlada leta 1936 sklenila prijateljski pakt z Bolgarijo, so ga v SLS navdušeno pozdravili. V letih pred drugo svetovno vojno se z idejami o združitvi obeh držav niso več oglašali, a so to točko jeseni 1941 skupaj z liberalci vključili v program, ki so ga poslali v LondonTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZgodovinsko društvo v Mariboru
