He believed that the federation of Serbia and Bulgaria, thе best way to get rid of Turks in the Balkans, and to resist the pressure of the other Great Powers, especially Austria-Hungary. To begin the Second Balkan War, Pašić was blamed the bulgarian politicians because they secretly cooperated with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, against Serbia and Russia, and so they issued a Sloven’s interests in the Balkans. After the war Pašić was leave idea of alliance with Bulgaria. The First World War was the culmination of the Serbo-Bulgarian conflict. The Bulgarian forces who occupied Serbia have committed many serious crimes against the civilian population.
