Montenegrin propaganda from 1876 debunked by German newspaper: How Montenegrin forces allegedly defeated Mukhtar Pasha twice in northern Albania

The Serbian defeat at Gramada, Pandiralo, Dervaz and Bavor against Turkish forces in 1876

Cited:

“From the war zone Vienna, August 1st: The Neue Freie Presse reports from Niš: Hafiz Pasha’s vanguard captured the entrenched Serb camp near Gramada on Saturday after a six-hour murderous battle. The Serbs retreated to Derwent. The Turkish side admits that Mukhtar’s defeat at Bilet was complete. Mostar is threatened by the Montenegrins.

Zemlya, August 1st: Correspondence with Belgrade is very difficult. Ristik tightened police measures before his departure. Official war news has been missing for four days. According to written communications from the Timof Army, they know nothing of new victories. The Southern Army is said to have been defeated by the Turks at Pandiralo on Saturday and pushed back to Dervaz and Bavor. Tichernajeff is in Saitschar.”
