Born and raised in Zagreb. In the years 1908-1918 he was a professor at the University of Zagreb. After the creation of the Yugoslav state, he was fired for political reasons, sentenced to imprisonment and forbidden to accept a call to the University of Budapest. After a trip to Albania, he was brutally murdered by the Yugoslav police. His killing sparked a wave of international protests. Shuflai is the co-author of the compilation of two volumes <i>\u201cAkte dhe diploma\u201d (\u201cActs and diplomas\u201d)<\/i>, which illustrate the issues of medieval Albania. In 1924, his fundamental work <i>\u201cQytetet dhe kalat\u00eb e Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb kryesisht gjat\u00eb mesjet\u00ebs\u201d (&#8220;The cities and castles of Albania mainly during the middle ages&#8221;) <\/i>was published by the Vienna Academy of Sciences. Later, the works <i>\u201cHistoria e Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb s\u00eb Veriut\u201d (\u201c&#8221;The history of Northern Albania&#8221;) <\/i>and <i>\u201cSerb\u00ebt e Shqiptar\u00ebt\u201d (&#8220;Serbs and Albanians&#8221;)<\/i> followed. Under the pseudonym Alba Limi, Milan Shuflai published in 1920 the historical novel with an Albanian theme, &#8220;Konstantin Balsha&#8221;. In his works, the history of the Albanians stands out as an ethnocultural entity with ancient autochthonous roots and uninterrupted continuity, as well as great regenerative ability. <i>(In the photo: Milan Shuflai)<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Text:<\/strong> <i>Albanian encyclopedic dictionary &#8211; Vol. 3 <\/i>, Academy of Sciences of Albania, &#8220;Kristalina-KH&#8221;, Tirana, 2009, page 2643.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo: <\/strong>\u00a9 https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q1280614<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic processing: <\/strong>AHCF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milan Shuflai, croatian historian, researcher of medieval Albanian history, was killed by the Serbian police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":404,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vdekje"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6498"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6498\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8793,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6498\/revisions\/8793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
