Because having access to the sea means being able to easily engage in commerce with anyone close to your ports who also has access to the sea. This was very important for Russia just before World War I, as it's only water borders were pretty much useless for commerce with Europe and its land borders were very mountainous and unsuitable for land transportation, but having a port, however small it might have been, with access to the Mediterranean Sea was a great opportunity to have business with Europe's richest nations. This is mainly why Russia had such a strong interest in the Balkans back then.
