Secret Serbian-Romanian treaty, with the object of securing independence.  1
 
Aug. 26
 
Serbia and Greece signed a secret treaty (Treaty of Voeslau) by which Serbia was to get Bosnia and Herzegovina; Greece would get Thessaly and Epirus. Action was to be taken against the Ottomans in 1868. A Balkan confederation was envisaged as the ultimate goal. Michael organized a far-reaching propaganda campaign in Bosnia and Macedonia, and established close contact with the Bulgarian revolutionary leaders. Widespread nationalist agitation occurred (United Serbian Youth, or Omladina, was founded in 1867; it was feared to be too liberal and was suppressed).  2
