The main motives in the Foreign Office’s politics are described, as well as the factors that determine the positions of the British diplomats. The main conclusion is that during the period between the two wars London doesn’t want to break the status quo, accomplished by the system of piece treaties with the countries defeated in World War I. After the end of World War II the main concern is the wish of the British diplomats to protect its interests in the Eastern Mediterranean and to follow through with its guaranties and agreements with Greece. In that way the official politics of London in the period analyzed is not in sync with the Bulgarian understandings and foreign policy goals. The conclusion is reached that the Foreign office’s attitude is one of the factors for the strengthening of the Macedonian position as a modus for the development of the Macedonian issue in general and in particular - in the Yugoslavian country.The article presents the attitude of Great Britain to the Macedonian question during the period between the end of World War I and the end of World War II as well the following piece conferences.
