Both sides made competing declarations: Savov that "Bulgaria, who defeated the Turks on all fronts, cannot end this glorious campaign with the signing of an agreement which retains none of the battlefields on which so much Bulgarian blood has been shed," and Mahmud Pasha that "hat we have taken is ours."
Mõlemad pooled tegid konkureerivaid avaldusi: Savov, et "Bulgaaria, kes võitis türklasi kõigil rinnetel, ei saa lõpetada seda kuulsusrikast kampaaniat kokkuleppe sõlmimisega, mis ei jäta meile ühtegi lahinguvälja, kus on nii palju Bulgaaria verd valatud", ja Mahmud paša, et "mille me oleme võtnud, on meie".
