THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE “BALKAN ALLIANCE”

Summary/Abstract: The Balkan Peninsula has never been short of ideas for the establishment of an alliance of Balkan peoples and states with an anti-Ottoman character.

Most foreign and Balkan authors think that the Balkan Alliance was formed under Russias initial incentive. The agreement between Serbia and Bulgaria became the backbone of the Balkan alliance, which was divided into three parts: the political agreement, the -Bulgarian agreement was primarily oriented against Albanian interests. Representatives of the Great Powers rated the Serbian- Bulgarian agreement as a war instrument. The role of the judge, known to Russia, further complicated the situation. The Balkan Alliance was established contrary to the Austro-Hungarian and the Tripartite League interests.
