AHC: Greatest Bulgaria possible

With POD(s) after the First Balkan War, make Bulgaria the greatest it can be. Greatness is measured by wealth, living standards, larger size in territory, power projection, prestige etc.

Bulgaria's best bet might be to win the Second Balkan War, and then avoid war for a century afterward (Difficult, but if everyone becomes distracted by WW1, maybe it's possible).
 
The greatest Bulgaria would probably have Southern Dobruja, Macedonia, Thrace (from Greece), Central Macedonia (from Greece) and East Thrace (from Turkey), plus all of Dobruja and Istanbul as a plausible bonus.
 
Easiest thing is that CPs win WW1. Then Bulgaria could get parts of Greece, Macedonia and some other regions of Serbia. And Southern Dobruja if Romania still fights side of Entente. Then you should get economically and perhaps militaritally strong Bulgaria.

Avoid getting baited into the second Balkan war - roll over Serbia on 3 August 1914 (after German-Ottoman Alliance) - Serbia out early, supply lines to Ottomans open early - A-H preserves at least some dignity - good chance Italy, Greece and Romania stay neutral - Bulgaria spends most the war producing foodstuffs for profit - Bulgaria claims rump Macedonia (formally Serbian) in negotiated peace favorable to CP.

-Have Bulgaria lose the Second Balkan War as in otl, but make sure that although it loses, it does not lose Adrianople and its Turkish held territory in the process.
-Have the Central Powers win World War One

In this scenario, Bulgaria gets all of its territory is owns currently, as well as Macedonia, all of Greek Thrace and Thessaloniki, parts of southeastern Serbia, and all of Dobruja.

But didn't Bulgaria breaking the Balkan League one of the reasons it fell from Russia's favors and went to Germany's arms?
