Russia sought involvement in the Balkans primarily to expand its influence and promote Slavic nationalism, viewing itself as the protector of Slavic peoples and Orthodox Christians in the region. The Balkans were strategically important for access to the Mediterranean and countering Ottoman power. Additionally, Russia aimed to weaken Austria-Hungary's influence, which it saw as a rival in the region. This involvement was also tied to broader geopolitical ambitions, particularly during the decline of the Ottoman Empire.
