Summary/Abstract: Among the events that marked the historical fate of the Bulgarians in the 20th century the Balkan War of 1912 undoubtedly occupies a central place. This study expands the research spectrum to Central Europe not from the view-point of the well-known official diplomacy, but through the prism of the Czech political representation in the Reichsrat and Delegations. The article proves the existence of coordination on the eve of the war between the Bulgarian government and Czech Neo-Slavists in the face of the most famous Czech MP from the time of the Danubian Monarchy Dr. Karel Kramář. Kramář’s parliamentary appearances popularized the cause of the Balkan allies among the nations of the monarchy, presented a different view from the official and to some extent contributed to the refraining of Vienna from direct intervention in the conflict. The article analyzes the arguments of the Neo-Slav leader from the perspective of the 21st century.
