HC Deb 19 June 1899 vol 72 cc1483-4
MR. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is able to communicate any information with regard to the reported conflict on the Turco-Servian frontier.

*THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. BRODRICK, Surrey, Guildford)

Her Majesty's Minister at Belgrade has telegraphed that the frontier between Retkotser and Medewtfi was crossed on June 14th by Albanians and Turkish Regulars, who tried to raid villages and took two Servian guardhouses. They were opposed by the Servian frontier guards and armed villagers. Servian troops have been moved up to the frontier; the invaders have retired, and it is presumed that the military steps taken by Servia will suffice. to maintain order.
