In 1914, Serbian authorities used propaganda and exaggeration to assault the Albanian village of Astrzubi in Malisheva. The behaviour of the Serbian criminal Rakic had led to some kind of Albanian reprisal. This was used by the Serbian authorities to attack Astrazubi. 60 Albanians were arrested and homes were burned.

“Vienna, April 9. The “Albanian Correspondence” reports from Monastir: The Serbian government has used the small incident, which occurred as a result of the brutal behavior of Sub-Prefect Rakic ​​at Astrazubi and which was greatly exaggerated by the Serbian side, as a pretext for a major military action against the Albanian population of the Astrazubi region. Currently, this area is completely surrounded by a large mass of troops. On the day of their arrival, the Serbian soldiers arrested approximately 60 people and destroyed homes.”
