NEGOTIATED BORDERS. THE ROMANIAN KINGDOM, ALBANIA AND THE AROMANIAN CAUSE

Summary/Abstract: The major objective of the Romanian diplomacy in London was represented by the support of an Albanian state within whose borders as many Aromanians as possible would be included. For Romania, the possible Swiss model to be applied in Macedonia, especially as long as there was a symbolic Ottoman tutelage over the area, was illusory after the events of 1912. The only solution considered to be viable for the fate of the Aromanian population was the integration in an Albanian state as wide as possible, where the Aromanians would have a significant role, and their protective state, in this case Romania, to be able to have a major influence. Moreover, this influence did not have an undermining character for the young state, but on the contrary, one that could have strengthened the new state entity.
