Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine and analyse the problem of
legal reform in Macedonia in 1907. It was Russia and Austro-Hungary that showed the greatest interest in Balkan affairs, and make two efforts to stabilise the situation. Under the term 1 the St. Petersburg regulations, both powers undertook to support and not to change (without mutual consent) the status quo in
the Balkans and to oppose any attempt by the independent Balkan
states to bring about any such change. The documents published from the Russian archives show that eventually relations between Russia and Austro-Hungary were
eventually severed owing to the Bosnian crisis of 1908-9, and the
formal implementation of the legal reform ceased in late August 1909.
