In case of a postwar disagreement, the area to the north of the Kriva Palanka–Ohrid line (with both cities going to the Bulgarians), had been designated as a "disputed zone" under Russian arbitration and the area to the south of this line had been assigned to Bulgaria.
Sõjajärgse mittenõustumise korral määrati ala Kriva Palanka–Ohridi joonest põhja pool (mõlemad linnad pidid minema bulgaarlastele) "vaidlusalusena" Vene vahendustegevuse alla ja ala sellest joonest lõunas määrati Bulgaariale.
