Z. Each riparian power should be
able to act in concert with other
riparian powers with the view of COL
laboration.
3. On maritime routes which are
most used and in accordance with
itineraries which might be agreed
upon, policing of the seas would be
carried out by Franco British naval
forces, as has been agreed upon by
the French and British governments.
Pourich added that the powers Of
the Balkan entente hoped riparian
powers OF the Mediterranean invited to

selves with the decision of the confer
ence, which would be communicated
to them.
