  • The Battle of Novšiće (Serbian: Boj na Novšiću/Бој на Новшићу; Bitka na Novšićima/Битка на Новшићима, Albanian: Beteja e Nokshiqit) was a battle for control over Plav and Gusinje fought on 4 December 1879 between the forces of Principality of Montenegro led by Marko Miljanov and local pro-Ottoman forces which included irregulars of the League of Prizren, both commanded by Ali Pasha, the Kaymekam of Gusinje. The League of Prizren consisted mainly of Albanians and from Plav and Gusinje in Scutari Vilayet and irregulars from Kosovo Vilayet. This battle followed the Montenegrin–Ottoman War (1876–78). It happened because the Ottoman Empire avoided to provide conditions for peaceful cession of Plav and Gusinje to Montenegro, as agreed in the Treaty of Berlin (1878). To straighten their position at Congress of Berlin and later to avoid fulfillment of their obligations from the Treaty of Berlin, the Ottomans unofficially supported the League of Prizren which mobilized the pro-Ottoman irregulars. They easily mobilized 14,000–15,000 forces, because Plav and Gusinje were predominantly populated by the pro-Ottoman Muslims and Albanians who opposed this cession to the predominantly Christian populated Montenegro. They paid all the income of their waqif to the chieftains of neighboring Albanian tribes who belonged to the League of Prizren to support them with their forces. The League of Prizren forces gathered in Plav and Gusinje where they were put under the command of the Ottoman kaymakam of Gusinje, Ali Pasha. The Montenegrin forces of four battalions with 4,000–6,000 men were positioned along the demarcation line near villages Velika and Murino. Until the end of November 1879 they were under the command of voivode Petrović, who strictly respected instructions of the Montenegrin government to employ static and defensive tactics. At the beginning of December 1879 Montenegrin Prince Nicholas appointed Marko Miljanov, instead of Petrović. On 4 December 1879 one skirmish in the village Velika evolved into the battle when the Montenegrin forces advanced into Ottoman territory. Two battalions commanded by Miljanov quickly advanced without securing their flanks. The League of Prizren forces ambushed and surrounded them near the village of . After several hours of fighting additional two Montenegrin battalions commanded by Vuković arrived and released forces under Miljanov from the encirclement and secured their retreat. Both sides suffered significant casualties. In 1880 the Ottomans ceded seaport Ulcinj to Montenegro, instead of the two towns of Plav and Gusinje. Since the Ottomans completely lost control over the League of Prizren, they disestablished it and crushed their forces in April 1881. Ali Pasha of Gusinje was promoted by the Ottomans to the position of mutasarrıf of the Sanjak of İpek and awarded the title of beylerbey. After a fierce disagreement with Prince Nikola in 1882, Miljanov decided to retire from public life to his native Medun. In 1912 Montenegro annexed Plav and Gusinje. (en)
  • Die Schlacht von Nokšić (albanisch Nokshiq) am 4. Dezember 1879 war ein bewaffneter Kampf zwischen der Armee des jungen Staats Montenegro und den inoffiziellen Truppen der Liga von Prizren, die gegen die Abtretung von Gebieten, die von Albanern bewohnt wurden, an neu entstandene bzw. vergrößerte Nachbarstaaten des Osmanischen Reichs kämpften. Die Schlacht ist ein von der albanischen Seite zum Mythos stilisierter Teil eines von Ende Oktober 1879 bis Januar 1880 andauernden Grenzkonflikts. Beim Berliner Kongress wurde das Gebiet von Plav und Gusinje an Montenegro zugesprochen. In der Folge formierten sich in Plav albanische Widerstandskämpfer, die sich – am Schluss erfolgreich – gegen eine Eroberung des Gebiets durch die Montenegriner wehrten. (de)
