Contested Regions according to
the map annexed to the Treaty of Alliance [1912] (262K)
Map from "Report of the International Commission To Inquire

"The Serbian-Bulgarian treaty of 13 March 1912 made provision
for the partition of Macedonia along the following lines: 'all
the territory north of the Sar range' was to go to Serbia; 'all
the region east of the Rhodope range and the Struma valley'
was to go to Bulgaria. Bulgaria hoped the intervening country
should form an 'autonomous Macedonia', but, if this should prove
impossible, a new line was to be drawn leaving Kumanovo, Skoplje
and Debar to Serbia, and giving Kratovo, Veles, Bitolj (Monastir)
and Ohrid to Bulgaria. Serbia undertook to make no claim south
of the line; Bulgaria reserved the right to claim territory
to the north, in which case Russia was to act as arbitrator.
The area of overlapping claims was known as the 'Contested Zone'.

Territorial Modifications in the

[August 1913] (281K)
Map from "Report of the International Commission To Inquire
into the Causes and Conduct of the Balkan Wars" 1914.
"The Treaty of London (30 May 1913) ceded to the Balkan
allies all territories 'west of a line drawn from Enos on the
Aegean Sea to Midia on the Black Sea, with the exception of
Albania.
It was not only a defeat of the military forces of the Turkish
empire, but a defeat of the Austrian dream of Drang nach Osten.
...Austria-Hungary and Italy, rather than see Albania partitioned
between Slav states on the north and Greece on the south, had
succeeded in blocking Serbian access to the Adriatic by proposing
the creation of an autonomous Albania."

Handbook Series: Jugoslavia, Volume II, 1944, p. 114.
