The Ottoman incursions in Dalmatia escalated to the point where Venice was forced to sign a treaty with

Feriz Beg captured Durazzo in Venetian Albania.[3]

By the end of 1502, Venice and the Ottoman Empire agreed on an armistice.[1] On 31 January 1503, Venice signed another treaty with Vladislaus II, having already paid 124,000 ducats through the previous treaty, to pay 30,000 ducats a year for the same purpose.[1]

In 1503, Turkish cavalry raids reached Venetian territory in Northern Italy, and Venice was forced to recognize the Ottoman gains, ending the war.

The economy of the Venetian cities in Dalmatia was severely impacted by the Turkish occupation of the hinterland during this war.[4]

Aftermath

By September 1510, Vladislaus had received a total of 116,000 ducats under the terms of the second treaty with Venice.[1] After 1508, he had also been under pressure from the League of Cambrai to join them against Venice, but skillful Venetian diplomacy prevented that.[1]
