Summary/Abstract: Except in terms of defining Belgrade Fortress extent, the Paris Government showed minima linterest in the application of the regulations of the Protocole of Kanlidja Agreement from 8 September, 1862. This conclusion refers to the work of both Serbian­Turkish Civil Committees, the duties of which were to define the compensation for the damages made during the bombing of Belgrade and eviction of the Turks from Serbia. According to their interests, these questions were not important enough to engage the great powers, as well as to question the mutual agreement that was supposed to be made in much important problems, such as: Polish uprising in 1863, PrussianDanish conflict in 1864, Prussian­ Austrian conflict in 1866 and the change to the throne of Romania in the same year. It was clear to the powers that due to the settling of the situation in Serbia, as well as the way it was imposing these questions, the Principality had no intention to stop its relationship with the Port because of them. That was the most important thing for the powers. In any case, their interest was calculated to deprive Serbia of any reason for conflict. The disturbed relations of France and Russia after the Polish uprising in 1863, which damaged the preexisting joined action of the two forces on the Eastern Question, were undoubtedly the main reason for such relation of France to the Principality.
