In 1912, during the Balkan War, Montenegrin troops invaded Akova in Sanxhak, and committed atrocities against the Albanian population. The Albanians and Turks attacked the Montenegrins and chased them all the way to Mojkovac. The Malesoris and Miredita fighters, on whom the Montenegrins counted on, instead joined the Turkish camp and assaulted the Montenegrins. In the Hungarian newspaper “SZLAVÓN MAGYAR ÚJSÁG” we read the following:

Translation:

“The Daily Telegraph reports the following about the operations of the Montenegrin troops in Sandzak: On the eleventh, the Montenegrins crossed the border and occupied the village of Akova from which the guard consisting of two companies and some volunteers withdrew after a short resistance.

The Montenegrins massacred all the old people, women and children in the locality, regardless of race or religion. In view of the atrocities, the Turks attacked the Montenegrins again and drove them out of Akova after a fierce fight. The Montenegrins fled towards the border in great disarray and the Turks chased them all the way to the border town of Moikovacs, which they occupied. The Malossors and Miridites, whom the Montenegrins were counting on, arrive en masse in the Turkish camp.”
