Summary/Abstract: The Balkan Wars 1912–1913 left behind devastation and ashes. The end of the war and the treaty in Bucharest had devastating effects on Macedonia, and the decisions left permanent consequences on the course of events in that period of time and had an unseen negative effect on our country and the Macedonian citizen today. Peoples who became strangers in their own country were in the worst situation, and the more different they were from the new government the worse their position was. Bosniaks in the Ottoman Empire expanded their influence in all parts of the Balkans, but after the weakening of the state their number considerably grew in other Ottoman provinces, including Macedonia. With the Balkan Wars 1912–1913 process of eviction of the Bosniaks and the rest of the Muslim population began once more. The newly established government not only failed to ensure order, peace and security, but also triggered two negative processes by its actions. The first was denationalization of the Macedonian people and the second was direct discrimination and incitement to eviction of Bosniaks and other Muslims from Macedonia.
