Battles for Plav and Gusinje

The Battles for Plav and Gusinje were armed conflicts between the Principality of Montenegro and the Albanian League of Prizren that broke out following the decision of the Congress of Berlin (1878) that the territories of Plav and Gusinje (part of former Scutari Vilayet) be ceded to Montenegro. The conflicts took place in this territory between 9 October 1879 and 8 January 1880. The following battles were fought:

  • Velika attacks (9 October–22 November 1879), Montenegrin victory
  • Battle of Novšiće (4 December 1879), Albanian victory
  • Battle of Murino (8 January 1880), Montenegrin victory
