Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes Romania’s relations with the Entente in the course of the Second Balcan War, in the context of the Great Powers’ policies, positioned in opposite political-military groups with respect to the South-East European zone. Gravitating in the political orbit of the Triple Alliance, which faced a true crisis situation, Romania had a great freedom of action in the relation with the Triple Alliance. But his relationship with this political-military group did not lead to a reorientation of the Romanian state’s external policy towards the Entente, as was sometimes considered in the historiography of the researched theme. Basing on a rigorous analysis of historical sources, the author shows the real nature of this relationship and emphasizes the exceptional value of Romania’s political-diplomatic and military actions, which led to the ending of the war and to the conclusion of peace between the conflicting states.
