276 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES these two zones and their functions may be clearly understood the steps which have led up to their establishment and the present atti- tude of the Greek and Yugoslav Governments on the subject are described in the following paragraphs. Apart from purely economic motives, political considerations between Greece and Yugoslavia have had much to do with the establishment and the subsequent delay in the operation of the Yugoslav free zone, and the establishment of the Greek free zone. The Yugoslav free zone was originally the subject of a convention between Greece and Serbia signed on May 19, 1914. On account of the outbreak of the European War nothing was done toward its establishment until the latter part of 1922. The zone area was for- mally ceded to Yugoslavia on March 6, 1925. The Greek free zone, which surrounds the Yugoslav zone, was inaugurated on October 18, 1925. YUGOSLAV FREE ZONE DRIGIN OF, AND NEGOTIATIONS LEADING UP TO ITS ORGANIZATION Before the World War Saloniki was the natural maritime port for Serbia which at that time had no outlet on the Adriatic Sea. In the spring of 1914 an agreement was signed between Greece and Serbia assigning a free zone to Serbian commerce at Saloniki, but owing to the outbreak of the war it was not ratified. In spite of the expansion of Serbia into the State of Yugoslavia with a seaboard on the Adri- atic, the need for an outlet on the Aegean remained, and the question of a free zone at Saloniki was reopened in November, 1922. The same month Greece ratified the 1914 agreement but Yugoslavia refused to do so on the grounds that its terms were not adequate to her requirements. Negotiations on the subject were resumed and on May 10, 1923, a new agreement was signed in Belgrade. By the terms of this agreement Greece ceded to Yugoslavia for a period of 50 years an ares in the port of Saloniki to be placed under the Yugoslav customs administration. The zone was to remain an integral part of Greek territory and under Greek sovereignty, but was to be admin- istered by Yugoslav customs authorities. State and municipal land in the area was to be ceded without charge, but land under private ownership was to be expropriated by the Greek Government and paid for by Yugoslavia. Officials in the zone were to be Yugo- slavs, and the chief executive authority was to be vested in a Yugoslav official under the control of the Greek captain of the port of Saloniki. Goods in transit between the zone and Yugoslavia, and goods imported for use or consumption in the zone were to be free from all Greek State or municipal taxation. Yugoslavia was to enjoy most-favored- nation treatment in the port of Saloniki as well as any advantages arising from the establishment of a Greek free zone. The contracting
