[B]On the tentative mission to Constantinople[/B]

The authorities of the Principlaty of Bulgaria have made their desire clear: we wish to enter talks with the Porte regarding our status and that of our brethren who live in various Elayets. This may seem unacceptable to the Great Vizier but the least diplomatic conveniences require is to allow us to send an embassy to Constantinople. If the Sultan is to keep the Bulgaria under an increasingly theoretic vassalage, his government cannot ignore such a simple request. 

The actions of the so-called Boxers in China were truly contempt-worthy and the Principality of Bulgaria and its benevolent Prince are pleased to see that the might and moral superiority of Europe have triumphed of what many believed was a Yellow Threat. This justifies once more the domination of Whites over other races, and sadly underlines the irony and the sadness of the current situation in the Balkans. The continued oppression of the Bulgarian Slavs should come to an end and we encourage various Powers to support us in our endeavours.
Our well-known supportive stance towards Russia shan't make our diplomatic corps blind, and if the moral superiority Europe claims and in our opinion deserves is to remain undisputed, then we must stay true to our principles. The Russian actions in the Far East far exceeded their original mandate, and the certainly exaggerated rumors of an unilateral dispossession of the Qing there worries Bulgaria and all of the civilized world. While the mandate of Europe, nay the burden, to colonize is recognized by all, it must happen according to law and using a pretence to assist the Qing to create a protectorate over Cistumenia is far from honourable. Bulgaria hopes that cooler minds will prevail in Saint-Petersburg and that the conference called in Vienna shall bear fruit.
