APPENDIX I
AUSTRIA'S ULTIMATUM TO SERBIA
The Austro-Hungarian Government addressed the following Note to the
Serbian Government on the 23rd July 1914, through the medium of the
Austro-Hungarian Minister at Belgrade:
'On the 31st March 1909 the Serbian Minister in Vienna, on the
instructions of the Serbian Government, made the following
declaration to the Imperial and Royal Government:
'"Serbia recognises that the _fait accompli_ regarding Bosnia has
not affected her rights, and consequently she will conform to the
decisions that the Powers may take in conformity with Article 25
of the Treaty of Berlin. In deference to the advice of the Great
Powers, Serbia undertakes to renounce from now onwards the attitude
of protest and opposition which she has adopted with regard to the
annexation since last autumn. She undertakes, moreover, to modify
the direction of her policy with regard to Austria-Hungary and to
live in future on good neighbourly terms with the latter."
