Am doing some research and have hit a roadblock. Does anyone know the names of the Foreign and War Ministers during the Balkan Wars period (1912-13). Also I've run across reference to a Foreign Minister named Goga. Is this the writer Octavian?

It couldn't be Octavian Goga, as he was Transylvanian smile.gif. Also at that time he was 31-32, a little bit too young to be a foreign affairs minister. I believe Constantin (Take) Ionescu was the foreign affairs minister at the time. He was very involved in the negotiations (IIRC he was the one who asked for the extension of the frontier from Silistra-Balcic to Turtucaia-Balcic). The prime minister at that time was Titu Maiorescu.

Thanks for the help, Victor. I knew Goga was young (had forgotten he was Transylvanian) but stranger things have happened. Thanks again, appreciate the help.
