Montenegrin General Vasovics murder of Çerçiz Topulli, Mustafa Qulli and 7 Shala tribesmen in 1912

Petrit Latifi

After the Montenegrins invaded Shkodër, General Vasovic arrested several Albanians, including Mustafa Qulli and Çerçiz Topulli and 7 Shala tribesmen, who were sent to a prison camp in Podgorica. A week later, they were murdered in a ravine near Renci. The Albanian Correspondence by Leo Freundlich writes:

“The Albanian Correspondence reports that a few days after the Montenegrin occupation of Scutari, General Vesovic had a number of Albanians arrested and taken to the prison camp in Podgorica. Among them were the Albanian nationalists Mustafa Qulli and Cherkis Topulli.

A week after their deportation, the bodies of the two and seven Malissors from the Shala tribe who had also been arrested were found in a ravine near Renci. They had been shot on the way.

Mustafa Qulli was an ideally disposed young nationalist who, until 1914, strongly opposed Italy’s efforts in Albania. He was a reporter for the Albanian Correspondence.”
