SECOND BALKAN WAR

After The Balkan allies were not fully satisfied with how Macedonia was partitioned. Bulgaria took over the smallest part of Macedonia during the war and wanted Serbia to perform corrections of the borders. The Bourgeous government of Serbia did not gain entrance to the Adriatic sea because the Albanian state was formed and asked for a piece of the Macedonian territory which was under Bulgarian occupation. What Serbia had in mind was a piece of the Vardar Valley. The Serbian State did not want to withdraw to Bulgaria.
Greece wanted certain territories from the eastern parts of Aegean Macedonia and special recognitions of Greece's right in Solun (Thessaloniki), which was under Bulgarian and Greek control. In June 1913, Serbia and Greece formed a secret treaty for joined action against Bulgaria. Bulgaria had the same intentions. Helping to receive help from Ausro-Hungary, only one month after the London treaty, at the end of June 1913, Bulgaria unexpectedly attacked the Serbian and Greek armies in south-eastern Macedonia. That was the beginning of the second Balkan war was fought on Macedonian territory and its repatriation.
