The article is a writing of study about the byzantine mission in Bulgaria in the 9th century. Two main problems confronted the Bulgarian state in the 9th century : the need to establish orthodox church in Bulgaria ; the need to establish roman catholic church in Bulgaria. In order to understand the problems we have to first investigate defining interests of the peripheral states, especially Byzantium and Roman Church, in Bulgaria. We try namely to research the political, religious, military and economical roles of the conversion to Christianity relating to the territorial expansion in Balkans and in Macedonia, and the problem of Illyricum diocese. We examine then in this paper the condition and the result of the christian mission of Byzantium in Bulgaria especially in the 9th century. The christian mission, in the 9th century, has diverse relations with interests of peripheral states. I presume that the economy of the byzantine Balkans, in the 9th century, related to the christian missions as we found it on the byzantine point of view.
