1888 CE to 1899 CE

Great-power tensions in the Balkans ease in the 1890s, as Africa and the colonial territories in the Far East become the focus of competition among European powers

Although Austria-Hungary is not involved in this colonial competition, Russia is.

Its interests in the Far East pave the way for an accommodation with Austria-Hungary to maintain the status quo in the Balkans.

In 1903, however, Serbia, a Balkan country that European powers have assigned to the Austro-Hungarian sphere of influence, will launch an expansionistic program directed against Austria- Hungary.

Without Russian support, however, Serbia's threat will not be a major concern.
