The following article cites various Montenegrin sources on Montenegrin bandits committing atrocities against Albanians in 1919

In an interesting section of the book “Рат после рата Војска Краљевине Срба, Хрвата и Словенаца на Косову и Метохије и у Македонију 1918-1920”, we can read how Montenegrin criminals attacked the Rugova highlanders while sleeping on August 8, 1919.

“The cause was, as before, the ancient disputes of Vasojević and Rugovaci. Thus, on August 8, 1919, unknown perpetrators attacked the Rugovac people in Shtupeqi i Vogel while they were sleeping. On that occasion, the heads of the three people killed were cut off. An unsuccessful chase followed.”¹
