Indeed, this was the case. After the term of the Triple Alliance treaty ended, Germany and Russia did not choose to renew it but instead signed a new reinsurance treaty resembling a non-aggression pact.
The main goal of this treaty was to achieve a non-aggression pact, ensuring a temporary peace along the German-Russian border.
As for the disputes in the Balkan Peninsula region, this reinsurance treaty did not mention them much. This actually also represented one thing: in future situations regarding the Balkan Peninsula, Germany will firmly stand by Austria-Hungary.
Russia certainly understood what this reinsurance treaty represented, and at the same time as signing the treaty, it reached further cooperation agreements with France.
However, at that time, Russia did not want to damage the relationship with Germany, so the Franco-Russian Alliance that the French wanted to see was not achieved, but the relationship between France and Russia did indeed become closer.
