No picture yet, but I am sure after GEEBE.
 
Here is the history:
 
 

Unfortunately we had to wait some time to fix the eastern end, as the Romanian Commision were not ready; and the wedding of the king of Serbia caused a further postponement, as the Yuguslav and Romanian Commisioners had to be in attendance. .. Later a difficulty arose…, as during the negotiations between Romanian and Yugoslavia concerning their frontier, the latter agreed to cede the commune of Obeb to Romania, thus changing the position of the common point to the west side of the commune. When however the proposed frontier was referred to the Conference of Ambassadors, they decided that this point could not be changed unless Hungary agreed, and Romania and Yugoslavia was informed that Obeb must remain Yugoslavian until such agreement was received. As has become somewhat common lately these instructions were ignored, and Obeb was occupied by the Romanians on 1 April 1924. This delayed our work, as when we went to finish the survey of this part of the line we found Romanian sentries there with instructions to prevent any work being carried out. After some discussion we finally finished the survey, but were unable to set up the monument at the end.
