In 1913, during Montenegros invasion of Shkodër, Albanians living in Cetinje and Podgorica suffered violence from the Montenegrins. The Montenegrins also tried to persuade the Albanian defenders of Shkodër to hand over the city, and the area north of Drin.

Montenegrin terrorism against the Albanians.

Vienna, April 29. The Albanian Correspondence reports from Cattaro: Reports from Podgorica and Cetinje indicate that the living Albanians have suffered various acts of violence. Many Albanians living in Montenegro have submitted bishoprics to the Montenegrin authorities requesting permission to visit their relatives in Shkodër, from whom they have received no news for more than half a year.

King Nikola Petrovic has issued an order stating that no one may be allowed into Shkodër. A large number of Montenegrin emissaries are trying to use force to compel the population in Shkodër and its surroundings to demand the annexation of Scutari and the area north of the Drin to Montenegro.”
