The Kingdom of Serbia thanks the Austrian forces for handing over the Turkish Prisoners of war. However The Kingdom of Serbia must request that Austrian forces vacate the territory of Novi Pazar for the duration of the conflict and peace negotiations. Austrian forces are currently interfering with the attempts of Serbian and Montenegrin soldiers to fully occupy and pacify the territory. We need the full control of the territory of Novi Pazar to ensure that the Turkish forces cannot launch sneak attacks on our flanks. While there are forts being occupied by another power in the territory our soldiers cannot inspect, we cannot be fully secure. Furthermore we cannot garuntee food and supplies will be able to reach the garrisons at Novi Pazar while we are fighting. It would be a shame if the soldiers would endure hardship. Therefore we must ask Austrian forces to leave the territory.
