The Stamp of the League of Prizren is a historical document in regards to the Albanian request for independence that was discovered in London. The document, named 195/1382, signed may 2, 1881, was found by a researcher Bejtullah Destani in the archives of London. It is written and signed in Ottoman Turkish by the League of Prizren to the British ambassador of Istanbul, George Goschen. It described the League of Prizrens request for England to recognize the autonomy of the four Albanian-Ottoman vilayets under the name Arnautlik. The British ambassador sent the letter to foreign minister Earl Granville, saying “Your honor, lord minister. I send you this letter for it possesses much value”. Bejtullah Destani commented that the document has much value for it contained the first Albanian stamp ever used in an Albanian political letter. Destani also said that he accidentally discovered it while seeing the signed name of Vaso Pasha.[1][2]
