Summary/Abstract: The paper offers an atypical approach to the Franco-Serbian collaboration on the Salonica Front in that it seeks to view it from the perspective of participants rather than to base itself on reports submitted by the respective military commands. Interesting and frequently contradictory personal experiences drawn from the encounter of two culturally and geographically remote worlds reflect the daily life of French and Serbian soldiers. Observing Franco-Serbian relations at three parallel levels – everyday contacts on the front, support of French scholars and intellectuals to Serbia, and diplomatic relations between the two countries – the paper builds an argumentation for the process of establishing French influence in Serbia and the Balkans.
