The Albanian Declaration of Independence on November 28, 1912, had a significant impact on the First Balkan War, which was already underway at that time. The declaration of independence marked the emergence of Albania as a new state, which affected the balance of power in the Balkans and created new dynamics in the ongoing war.

The Kingdom of Serbia opposed the plan for this rather large Albanian state (whose territories are now considered to be the concept of Greater Albania), preferring a partition of the European territory of the Ottoman Empire among the four Balkan allies.
