Page "Balkan Wars" Paragraph 35

On 29 ( 16 ) June 1913 General Savov, under direct orders of tsar Ferdinand I, issued attacking orders against both Greece and Serbia without consulting the Bulgarian government and without any official declaration of war.

During the night of 30 ( 17 ) June 1913 they attacked the Serbian army at Bregalnica river and then the Greek army in Nigrita.

The Serbian army resisted the sudden night attack, while most of soldiers did not even know who they are fighting with, as Bulgarian camps were located next to Serbs and were considered allies.

Montenegro's forces were just a few kilometeres away and also rushed to the battle.

The Bulgarian attack was halted.
