 History of the organized Albanian terrorism and expansionism
By the agreement among the Haemus (Balkan) states that happened in 1912, Vardar river valley (i.e., present FYR Macedonia) was given to Serbia, while other parts of non-liberated Haemus (Balkan), (and populated with corresponding nations in majority) were divided between Montenegro, Greece, and Bulgaria.

Italy was not satisfied with new order on Haemus (Balkan) after the 1st World War because, according to the secret London agreement, they had right to claim land in Dalmatia and Istra, but it was given to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians because of the older official agreement (later renamed into Yugoslavia).
