Years: 789 - 789

Bulgaria had overcome the internal political crisis after the end of the rule of the Dulo.

The khans Telerig and Kardam have managed to consolidate the central authority and put an end of the quarrels among the nobility.

The Bulgarians finally have the opportunity to intensify their campaigns in Macedonia and annex the region and its Slavic population to their state.

In 789, they penetrate deep into the valley of the Struma river and heavily defeat the imperial forces, killing the strategos of Thrace, Filites.
