context_page_description: Old Serbia is a term in Serbian historiographical discourse that is used to describe the territory that according to the dominant school of Serbian historiography in the 19th century formed the core of the Serbian Empire in 1346-71.
  The term does not refer to a defined region but over time in the late 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century it came to include the regions of Raška, Kosovo and Metohija and much of modern North Macedonia. In modern historiography, the concept of Old Serbia as it developed in the 19th century has been criticised as a historical myth, based often on invented or tendentiously interpreted historical events.

caption: Map of the "Disputed Territory"  in Macedonia according to the Serbian-Bulgarian treaty from 1912.[6] Macedonia was divided into two zones, separated by the Kriva Palanka-Ohrid line. The lands to the southeast should be annexed to Bulgaria. The north-west zone should remain disputed, but both countries pledge to accept the arbitration of the Russian emperor. After the Balkan wars, Serbia annexed both zones elaborating the Cvijic's conception about Macedonia as part from Old Serbia.[7]
