2. The detailed Route of the Border
On leaving the Danube to follow the route of the border to the Black
Sea, this route is first marked by the base of the terrace of the left
bank of the valley separating the villages of Turk Smil and Kiutiukli.
It then goes up the spur located to the north of the path from Kiutiukli
to Senovo, crosses the central hillock (there are three) located to the
west of the village of Senovo; skirts the beginning of the two dells
located to the south of the village of Senovo, descends to the opening
of the dell located to the west of the village of Kazeilar, which it
follows almost to its beginning; It then crosses the valley of
Hadjifaklar and the plateau alongside the road from Kazeilar to
Balbunar. Between this road and the hill 209, it crosses the valleys to
the west and east of Kuvanojilar between which it skirts, following the
crest, the central dells of the same valleys of Kuvanojilar. From the
south of hill 209 , it goes toward the central bend of the Demir-Babinar
river to the east of the village of Seremetkioi, which it reaches after
having crossed the hillocks located to the south-west of 209 and after
having followed the dells and the confluences closest to the straight
line joining 209 to the hill 226 (north of Seremetkioi). To the east of
Demir-Babinar, the route of the border follows the spur located between
Kiuseabdt Kasapla and Eski Balabanlar, first crosses the valley, then
the plateau located to the east of this valley, between the villages of
Atkioi and Saladinkioi, it then descends into the valley of Saormankioi
at the confluence of the small dell of Saladinkio. The route then
crosses the hillock located to the north of the village of Kaidarkioi
(on the road to Silistrie), adjoins the confluence of the dell located
to the north of the village of Juklii to reach the road from Schoumia to
Silistrie, at the south of hill 269 after having skirted to the west,
south and east of the village of Rahman Asiclar, passing by the
confluences or by the depressions best located to fix this route at
almost equal distance from the villages that the border separates in
this region. From 269 the route passes between Dorutlar and Cioban
Nasuf; descends to the confluences of the first two dells located to the
east of the village of Cioban Nasuf, follows the spur flanked by these
two dells, still running toward the south-east following the thalweg of
the dell starting in the river Reonagol to the north-west of Mahmuzlai.
It then descends to the course of this river up to the confluence
located to the north-west of the dell of Mahmuzlai, which it then goes
up to pass to the south of the hillock 260 (saddle), from which it
descends into the dell of Kiuciuk Ahmed at the junction of the roads.
After having gone along the course of this river a little, the route of
the border goes up the spur located between KiuCiuk Ahmed and
Killi-Kadai, crosses the hillock 260, rejoins the confluence of the two
dells located to the west of Ekisce, goes up the dell located to the
west of this village, changes direction toward the south, crosses
hillock 277 and the saddle of the hillocks located between the villages
of Vladimirov and Gekcidelink; it crosses the saddle located between the
villages of Gekcidelink and Kapudjimah again, from where it goes
firstly toward the north and then toward the east following the
depression that passes to the north of Kortut (Korkut). Between Kortut
and the Isikli stream, the route of the border follows the water
catchment divide to the south of the village of Kadikioi and the hill
303 up to the major bend at Isikli. In the following section, which ends
on the road from Varna to Dobrici, the border first follows the course
of the valley of Kumbudja, then the eastern branch of this valley,
passing to the north of the hillock 340. The last section of the route
of the border located between the Varna-Dobrici road and the Black Sea
crosses the dell of Kuiudjuk at its outset, follows a small spur, then a
dell in the south-east direction, it then curves toward the north-east
in the direction of the hill 299 following a water catchment divide; it
then separates, by lines that are characteristic of the terrain, the
villages of Ciauskioi and Kapaklii, after having, in the same way,
separated Mustafa Beiler from Vlahlar; It finally reaches the Black Sea
by crossing the saddle located to the south of hill 252.
3. The Provisional Marking of the Route
The route of the border thus defined topographically using the existing
cartographic documents (maps of 1:200,000, 1:126,000 and 1:100,000) is
also plotted to certain remarkable points on the ground. To this effect,
the trigonometric points of the existing triangulation were chosen
first, followed by the steeples of churches or the minarets in the
villages. This is why this route was included in a triangulation
developed between the Danube and the Black Sea. As the triangulation
cuts the route of the border, the intersections are marked at invariable
points on the ground, whose distance can be measured with an
approximation of 50 metres.
This is how the point of departure of the border from the Danube is
plotted to the hill of the trigonometric point of Turtucala which is at a
distance of 15 kilometres. In the same way, the distances of all the
hillocks, saddles, etc, which form the landmarks of the border, can be
read from the map.

PROTOCOL
appended to Article IV of the Treaty of Bucharest of 28th July (10th
August) 1913, regarding the Questions in relation to the former
Serbo-Bulgarian Border.
A mixed Serbo-Bulgarian Commission, which will be established within a
period of one year with effect from the date of ratification of the
peace treaty, shall govern the questions in relation to the former
Serbo-Bulgarian border, taking the thalweg of Timek as a principle,
insofar as this river serves as the border between Serbia and Bulgaria,
and the line from the summit of the heights of Batchichte to Ivanova
Livada.
At the latest within a period of three years with effect from the date
of ratification of the peace treaty, the two contracting high parties
shall be bound to mark the entire route of the former Serbo-Bulgarian
border by permanent signs.
All the existing Mills on Timok, as this serves as the border between
Serbia and Bulgaria, shall be removed within a period of three years
from the date of ratification of the peace treaty and henceforth no
installation of this type shall be permitted on this part of the river.
It is also understood that it will no longer henceforth be permissible
for the subject of the two contracting high parties to own real estate
divided by the border line (the property known as “dvodlassna”). As
regards the ownerships of this type currently in existence, each of the
two governments hereby undertake to proceed with the expropriation, by
means of a just prior compensation fixed by the local procedure, of the
parcels located on its side of the border. The same rule shall apply to
the properties located in the enclave of Roglievo-Koilovo and in that of
Halovo-Vregeogrotzi, their legal situation with regard to the citizens
of the two neighbouring States having been settled by Protocol No. 11 of
the mixed Serbo-Bulgarian Commission of 1912. The aforementioned
expropriations shall be performed within the deadline of three years at
the latest, with effect from the date of ratification of the peace
treaty.

crest located to the north of Iurukleri and goes to the confluence of
the Strouma and the Bistrica, goes up the Bistrica and then goes toward
the east at Cengane Kalesi (1500). From there it reaches the crest of
Ali Butus (hill 1650) and follows the line of the water catchment
divide, between the hills 1820, 1800, 713 and Stragac. From there, still
following the water catchment divide it goes toward the north and then
toward the north-east, to follow the water catchment divide between the
