295 After Italy had made it known that it was not impressed by Austria-Hungary’s declaration that it
would not make any territorial claims against Serbia and also wanted to spare Montenegro, the Foreign

attack Mount Lovcén south of Kotor. In this way, the renunciation of a strategic position was expressed.
