Summary/Abstract: Peace Conference in Bucharest in 1913 has usually been analyzed in the Romanian historiography, in terms of conducting negotiations between former belligerents, so that the peace treaty concluded on this occasion was often presented as an act of South-East European states that had been involved in the conflict, done without any involvement of the Great Powers. The author of this study provides a new perspective approach, analyzing the policy of the Great Powers, located in opposite political-military groups, the Triple Alliance and the Triple Agreement, in order to influence decision making in line with their own interests in the region. In this context, the author highlights the unique role of Romania in restoring peace in an area that was seen by the contemporaries of the events as "the powder keg of Europe".
