Approximately so mobilized the Ottoman state. The second Balkan war was conducted for the division of Macedonia (30. ⅵ – 31. ⅶ 1913). It started with the Bulgarian attack on the army units of Serbia and Greece. Montenegro supported Serbia, and later in the war against Bulgaria also included Turkey and Romania. The fighting mainly led to the Serbian Bulgarian and the Greek-Bulgarian front in Macedonia.

The war was stopped on July 31, and at 10. ⅷ 1913 The Bucharest Peace Accord was signed, with which Macedonia was divided between Serbia, Greece and Bulgaria. C. ST.
