| Summary: | Since sufferings of civilian populations during the First World War in
Europe, especially war crimes perpetrated against civilians, have - unlike
the political and military history of the Great War - only recently become an
object of scholarly interest, there still are considerable gaps in our
knowledge, the Balkans being a salient example. Therefore, suggesting a
methodology that involves a comparative approach, the use of all available
sources, cooperation among scholars from different countries and attention to
the historical background, the paper seeks to open some questions and start
filling lacunae in our knowledge of the war crimes perpetrated against Serb
civilians as part of the policy of Bulgarization in the portions of Serbia
under Bulgarian military occupation.
