The Battle of Adrianople resulted in tactical victory for the Ottoman Turks. It marked the beginning of the end of Byzantine presence in the Balkans. Immediately after the battle, the Ottomans moved their capital from Bursa to Adrianople. This allowed for a central location from which to launch attacks against the collapsing powers of Serbia and Bulgaria. The Ottomans finally secured the city in 1369.
