Background
After the retreat of Austria-Hungary on October 31, 1918, Shkodra was controlled by the military force of the victorious Allies of the First World War, commanded by the French general De Fortou.[1] After the statement of the American president Woodrow Wilson for not leaving aside the issue of Albania's borders, the statement also stated that no territorial compensation would be accepted in Northern Albania in favor of the Yugoslavia.[2] At the request of the government that emerged from the Lushnja Congress, on March 11, 1920, the French general left Shkodra under the management of the perlimitar and its chairman, Musa Juka.[3]
War
In july the Yugoslav Forces started their invasion in Koplik.[4][5] Then they invaded the tribal regions of Kelmendi, Kastrati, Shkreli and Koplik.[6][7] Facing the resistance of the Albanian forces, in 1921, the Yugoslav forces were forced to withdraw.[8]
