I have always wondered what might have happened, if the Bulgarians and Serbs had revolted against the Ottomans at this time. They would have been very hard pressed to keep in control of the situation. It was a missed opportunity, in my opinion

The reason was that they feared of what would happen next. You may want to look into the Batak massacre, which is an example of how the Turks kept them under their rule.
