In depth
With Romanian troops approaching Sofia, an isolated Bulgaria accepted an armistice and peace talks. On 30 July Pašić for Serbia, Vukotić for Montenegro, Venizelos for Greece, Maiorescu for Romania and the finance minister Tonchev for Bulgaria met in Bucharest and agreed to an armistice from the 31st. Romania refused to let the Ottomans take part. The Great Powers maintained a very influential presence but did not dominate the proceedings, and the Greco-Bulgarian border followed notes presented by Russia and Austria-Hungary.
Serbia gained Ohrid, Monastir, Kosovo, Štip, Kočani and the eastern half of the Sanjak of Novi Pazar, growing from 48,300 to 87,780 km² and adding more than 1.5 million people. Greece gained southern Macedonia with Thessaloniki and Kavala and southern Epirus, growing from 64,790 to 108,610 km² and from 2,660,000 to 4,363,000 inhabitants. Romania took Southern Dobruja and Montenegro the western half of the Sanjak. Bulgaria kept only the Strumica district and western Thrace with its Aegean coast. The Ottomans made separate treaties with Bulgaria (Constantinople, September) and Greece (Athens, 14 November). Sources date the signature to 10 or 12 August.
