New York Times 100 years ago today, December 2, 1912:
Servia Denies the Rumors That Belgrade Is Being Fortified.
VIENNA, Dec. 1.— Most of the Vienna newspapers view the situation more hopefully, chiefly on account of the report that Russia has assured Austria that she does not intend to support all of Servia's ambitions. Most of the journals think the climax of the crisis is past, but there is no sign that Servia has abandoned her attitude on the question of an Adriatic port.
Inspired journals insist that Austria will veto the acquisition by Servia of territory on the Albanian coast and a strip through Albania, but will not object to Servia using an Albanian port under Albanian sovereignty.
The Neue Freie Presse asserts that during the present negotiations Servia demanded from Turkey the cession of the Albanian coast from Montenegro to Durazzo, which the Turkish delegates refused.
