Exactly which region did this republic encompass, and how did its seat come to be in Prizren when that city had been a part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes since 1919? Evlekis (talk) 13:49, 20 November 2007 (UTC) Blocked sock:Evlekis.[reply]

Rrëshen???[edit]

Rrëshen is the capital of Mirditë today, but back in 1921 it didn't even exist, the nearest village to the current spot of the town was Fushë-Lumth. The capital of the Republic of Mirdita was Prizren. Pasztilla (talk) 18:27, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yalens: The Republic was backed by the Yugoslavs, this is why it was declared in Prizren. It is hard to debate about the capital of a practically non existing state, what is for sure is that even later on, the republic only 'existed' in Yugoslav territory, namely in Prizren. And again: Rrëshen didn't exist back then, the traditional center (or 'capital') of the Mirditas used to be Orosh, and for a short period, sort of two weeks, they were able to set their power in the territory of Albania (until Zogu pushed them beyond the Drin in early August), during which they indeed continued to use the traditional Mirditë center, Orosh as their base. But citing Rrëshen as capital, just because today it is the administrative center of Mirditë, is a non-sense.

„July 17th. Marko Gjoni proclaimed from Prizren that the 'Mirditë Republic' was established and that he had been elected its President.” Owen Pearson: Albania and King Zog: Independence, republic and monarchy 1908–1939. London; New York: Centre for Albanian Studies. 2004. = Albania In the Twentieth Century, 1. ISBN 1845110137, pag. 168.
„August 9th. Orosh, the Mirditë capital, was captured and Marko Gjoni's house and some sixty others were burnt, while the crossings of the Drin on the Yougoslav side of the Franchet d'Espéray line, which led into Mirditë, were strongly secured.” Ibid, p. 169.
„November 17th. Herbert Fisher, the British representative, made a statement before the League Council on the Yugoslav invasion of Albania. [...] stated that the British government was satisfied that the 'Mirditë Republic' was nothing but an instrument of the Yugoslav government, proclaimed and existing only in Yugoslavia.” Ibid., p. 178.
„He [Gjon Markagjoni] and his father were the main protagonists in the attempted secession of Mirdita from Albania, the so-called Republic of Mirdita that was declared in Prizren on 17 July 1921.” Robert Elsie: A biographical dictionary of Albanian history. London; New York: Tauris. 2013. ISBN 9781780764313, p. 295.
„Gjoni managed only to win over the Bajrak of Orosh, but the Yugoslavs from Prizren proclaimed a Mirdite Republic in Marka Gjoni's name and supplied him with arms. [...] The rebellion was shortlived, as the majority of the Mirdites ignored his call to revolt. Within days, government troops had captured the Mirdite capital Orosh, and with 50 of his men Gjon Marka Gjoni was forced to flee back to Prizren. [...] [his son] was far less ambitious than his father, withdrew into obscurity and the 'Republic of Mirdite' lived on only in Prizren, Yugoslavia.” Miranda Vickers: The Albanians: A modern history. 4th revised edition. London; New York: I.B. Tauris. 2014., pp. 98–99.
