Marko Lerinski was the first person to suggest a common uprising in both Macedonia and Southern Thrace (the Vilayet of Adrianople), an idea that would be put into practice with the Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising of 1903. However, he did not live to witness the uprising. After his detachment's location was reported to the Ottoman authorities, Lerinski died in a battle with Ottoman forces near Patele (Agios Panteleimonas, Florina) on 13 June 1902 and was buried in Surovichevo (Amyntaio).
