Britain Warns Against Recognizing Servia Regime After Belgrade Influx
London June 20. In the Lords Foreign Minister Lansdowne stated Britain's minister to Servia will withdraw from Belgrade and refrain from recognizing the provisional government until it is proven free of involvement in the Belgrade massacres.

Russia and Austria may recognize the new regime, though Russia seeks proper punishment.
