Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the writings of ‘Edinost’, the newspaper of the Trieste Slovenes, in the period of the Balkan wars in the years 1912 and 1913. The article shows Slovene attitude towards the Bulgarians and places it in the broader context of the conflict between various South Slav ideas. The specific position of the Primorska region and Istria, as well as consequential geopolitical importance of the Trieste, reflected through the inclination of those Slovenes to the widest concept of the Yugoslav political idea, which was supposed to be the leverage for political emancipation of all South Slavs. However, the second round of Balkan wars caused the exclusion of Bulgaria from the South Slavs state concepts, and pushed Slovenes from Trieste to the narrower version of the Yugoslav idea with Serbia in its central role.
