In the mountainous region of Dukagjin (Shkodra district), the “Uprising of Dukagjin”, an anti-government uprising of the northern highlanders due to the difficult economic situation, broke out. The Dukagjin uprising was used by the Yugoslav monarchy, through the Catholic clergy in Yugoslavia, to prevent the Tirana government from approaching the Rome government, at a time when talks were being held between them for the conclusion of the Italo-Albanian political Pact. The Italian fascists, for their part, intended to use this uprising to scare Ahmet Zogu with the Yugoslav danger and to hasten the signing of the pact. The insurgents occupied the center of Dukagjin and approached Shkodra. The uprising also spread in the district of Puka. The Albanian government mobilized mercenaries from people of the Muslim faith and threw them against the Catholic population, aiming to transform the internal economic-social and political contradictions into religious contradictions. On November 30, the Dukagjin Uprising was brutally suppressed. (In the photo: Antizogist leaders of the Dukagjin Highlands, 1926.)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
