After Montenegro occupied the province of Plavë-Gucia in October 1912, no form of extermination of the Albanian population, the oldest ethnic group in the Balkans, was spared, killing, massacring, changing their religion and nationality and chasing them from their lands. International works such as: “Enquete fans les Balkans”, Paris, 1914, testify to the rudeness of the Slavic ancestors on the Albanians. Leo Preudlich: “Albanians Golgotha”, Vienna, 1913; Edith Durham: “The Struggle of Scutari”, etc.

After Vešović vented his anger by killing more than 63 elected men in Vuthaj and dozens of others around them, he moved to Dečan in December 1912, giving way to the ordinary criminal: Avro Cemović (popularly known as Avro Cemi). After having ethnically cleansed the district of Istog, Peja and Rozhaja, he turned to work in Guci:

First, he instituted extraordinary military-royal trials and immediately began executions of innocent people. Shot people in Plava Race, starting March 5, 1913. Then in Guci, and from March 9, 1913, he began to send them to the Montenegrin-Albanian border, in the Previa Pass.

According to the registers of those convicted in the above-mentioned trials, until now it is known that the remains of Haxhi Hasi, Haxhi Beqi, Ibrahim Halil and the brothers Halil and Murat Haxhiu – of Radonciq are found in the mass cemetery in Qafë i Previa; of Mulla Sheqi, Muje Aga and the two sons of Tal and Hako Ali – all Omeragaj; of Rame Zeqir and Hasan Alku of Kolina; of Haxhi Sejdit-Nikocaj and Sejdo Metku-Lalicic; of Ramë Kuja – Shujak and Hako Lita – of Cekaj; of Hako Smajli of Baliqve and Jakup Arifi and Shaban Hasani – of Pepaj; of Began Sharku, Nuc Jakupi and Jupo Rexha – Sharkinaj; of Avdyl Zeka, Shaban Hasani and Mehmet Shabani – of Qosa; to Reko Rama i Çelajve; Shaban Gjonbalaj and Mal Ibishi hatched.

The second group: Hasan Bajri, Adem Basha, Haxhi Shabani, Ali Frici, Bajër Zeqiri, Ibrahim Rrustemi and Sylë Istrefi – Nikoçaj; Avdi Hasani, Ibër Ahmet Aga and Avdi – Omeragaj, Mulla Emini and Mulla Hasi – of Bekteshaj; Mujk Ahmeti Delaj, Haxhi Jakupi Lalicic, Adem and Din Radonciqi; Hasan Smajli-Kolina; Ramë Nuri Sujkaj, Nuro Hysi Mekulaj, Asllan Jakupi Ferataj, Bajram Haxhia and Arif Avdyli – Balidemaj; Halil Sejdi – Dervishaj; Adem Zeka – Qosaj, brothers Shog and Hul Sokoli – Goçaj; Muje Gali i Hasangjekaj, Bajram Xhuku-Dedushaj.

But really there are many, many others who have not been registered at all, which is also shown by the case of 16-year-old Halil Niman – Çelaj, the nephew of Mema Osa, Mema’s son. Thus, with or without a trial, as Mark Krasniqi says in an academic case, a total of 700 people were killed. There are 78 people from Vuthaj alone, including those from Çeremi and Valbona.

The martyrs who are still rotting in the Previsë Pass, have left many descendants who today don’t even know what they are: They will say they are Albanians, Bosnians, Turks and some others have started to say they are “Montenegrin Muslims”. And what is worse, they have spread around the world like cuckoo birds and make us laugh when you hear that they have erected a memorial plaque for those massacred in Previsë in ​​a New York village with a Slavic name: “Monte Sello”. So they don’t dare to set up one in Previsë or Guci. Where do most of the massacred come from? Where Hasan Bajri said that day to Avro Cemi: “Move away, Slav, for you are too close”. While the brothers Goçaj: Shok and Hul Sokoli started singing.

However, history is history.

The corpses continue to rot in Previsë, on the border of Albania with Montenegro, becoming permanent guards on that border and thus testifying to the first Slavic genocide through the military formations of fascist generals Veshović and Cemović against the Albanian people.
Was this a Holocaust long before that of the Jews, orchestrated by the fascist Hitlerian hand, which has remained unpunished for a full 100 years?

Support should be sought from the LQSHA of Dioguard and from the Pan-Albanian Federation “Vatra”, so that this issue passes to the desks of diplomatic offices and international mechanisms in Brussels and Washington. It is known that Turkey is preventing Armenians from entering the European Union because of the genocide it committed against them in the early 20s of the XX century.
