ISA BOLETINI IN THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN DOCUMENTS OF 1912

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of Austro-Hungarian politics, although it had its own interests in this period of time, it was not the occupation of the Albanian territories, but the obstruction of Serbia to secure the cruise through Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would impede the expansion of the sphere of Russian influences in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula. The Italio-Austro-Hungarian competition for influence in Albania and the Adriatic will shift into the future in the fight between these two powers. Austro-Hungarians feared that the Albanian uprising would be used by neighboring states for the seperation of lands still held by the Ottoman Empire. So the Austro-Hungarian attitude was different from that of the other Great Powers. She called reasonable the 14 demands of Albanians, while Count Berthold tried to support them also by the Great Powers. These Austro-Hungarian diplomatic efforts were intended to force Istanbul to accept Albanian demands, and at the same time prevent the intervention of the Balkan states. On August 14, 1912, the Austrian Foreign Minister Berthold invited the European Chancellery, to make a common intervention in Istanbul.
