The Berlin
Congres And The Ulqini Question
During
the years of the Albanian independence movement, the League of Prizren,
Ulqin together with Shkodra, became the focus of Albanian resistance to
Ottoman, Montenegrin, and west European armies. The Albanian population
was caught between the Montenegrin and European powers armies' on one side,
which were there to implement the resolution of the Congress of Berlin
(1878), which had accorded Ulqin to Montenegro, and the Ottomans, which
refused to comply with the decisions. After the resistance movement was
supressed, Ulqin, together with the Albanian populated regions of Plav‘,
Guci, Podgorica, Tivar (Bar), Berana (Ivangrad), became part of the
Principality of Montenegro in 1880. Albanians still comprise the majority
of the population in Ulqin, despite the pressure from the Montenegrin
regime.
