Bulgarian–Hungarian War of 1195

After unsuccessful peace negotiations between Bulgaria and the Byzantine Empire in 1195, King Béla III of Hungary, who controlled parts of the western Bulgarian lands, decided to attack Bulgaria to capture western Moesia.

Details of the war are limited, but the Bulgarian army is believed to have quickly defeated the Hungarians and liberated Niš and the Morava region from their rule. The Bulgarians then entered Priština, from where they attacked northwards and restored their control over Belgrade, Braničevo and Syrmia, inflicting a complete defeat on the Hungarian troops. This greatly enlarged Bulgaria's territory, with its border now reaching Priština, the Ibar River, the upper reaches of the Serbian Morava, and then along the Drina River to Syrmia and Belgrade.
