Balkan Academia

The offices in Taslidja (Plevlje), Pirepol (Prijepolje) and Priboy (Priboj) continued to function during the Austro-Hungarian occupation of these towns from 1879 to 1908 besides the Austro-Hungarian military post offices, which, however, handled the bulk of all mail sent to Europe. All Ottoman post offices were closed during October 1912, when the area was occupied by Serbian and Montenegrin troops during the first Balkan War.
