How Serbia hired Wien musicians for the Serbian army, and how Länderbank gave Serbia a loan of 25 million as Milan Obrenović IV was broke in 1885

Extracted from the newspaper

“The Serbian loan. Everyone probably wishes for peace, except for Dr. Rappaport. Since he was sent to Belgrade, he and Hahn are both there with the Länderbank’s money. Because Milan is broke, broke, and he can’t have the money because he’s mobilizing now. He needs 15 million, which the bank will lend him. Woe betide him if it comes to battle. And Milan is in bad shape. Things will get bad then with the Länderbank’s papers. You have to try the Bontoux. As a shareholder, you won’t be afraid. Do you hope it always works out, that the bank keeps getting young people?”

“The Serbian government is recruiting musicians for the Serbian army in Vienna. Despite the friendly relationship our monarchy maintains with Serbia, we will nevertheless find ourselves in a position to give the young kingdom a piece of our mind.”

“Länderbank has taken over the 25 million loan for Serbia and will now establish a Serbian tobacco company and a Länderbank clothing company in return.”
