The historical and political precedents for the creation of a greater Sqiperia
or Greater Albania was set during World War II when the Kosovo and Metohija
regions along with territory Southwest of lake Skutari from Montenegro and the
western region of Southern Serbia, or Juzna Srbija (now part of Macedonija),
were annexed to Albania by the Axis powers led by Fascist Italy and Nazi
Germany, under a plan devised by Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler to dismember
and to destroy the Serbian Nation and people, which the Germans and Italians
perceived as the main threat to the axis powers and to the Third Reich in the
Balkan.
On April 7, 1939, Italian troops invaded and occupied Albania forcing the
Albanian ruler King Zog I Ahmed Bey Zogu, to flee to Greece. Italy formally
annexed into the Kingdom of Italy under the Italian king Victor Immanuel and
established a military government and viceroy. The Italian began a program to
colonize the country when thousands of settlers emigrated to Albania. An
Albanian Fascist Party was established with Albanian Black skirts based on
Italian models. The Albanian Army consisted of three infantry brigades of 12 000
men.
On October 28 1940, Italy invaded Greece from Albania with 10 Italian divisions
and the Albanian Army but were driven back.
Germany sought to assist the Italian-Albanian offensive by operation Alpine
Violet, a plan to move a corps of tree German mountain divisions to Albania by
air and sea. Instead German built up a heavy concentration of the German Twelfth
Army on the northwest Greek Border with Bulgaria, from where the German invasion
was launched.
On April 6, 1941, Nazi Germany and the axis powers invaded Yugoslavia, Operation
Punishment, and Greece forcing the capitulation of Yugoslavia on the 17th, and
Greece on the 23rd. Yugoslavia was subsequently occupied and dismembered. The
Axis powers established a greater Albania or greater Shqiperia at the expense of
Serbia and Montenegro. Territory from Montenegro was annexed to Greater Albania.
From Serbia, the Kosovo and Metohija were ceded to greater Albania, along with
the western part of Southern Serbia (Juzna Srbija), now part of Macedonia, an
area which was part of Stara Srbija (Ancient Old Serbia). This Kosovo-metohija
region and the surrounding territory annexed to Greater Albania was called "New
Albania".
To create an ethnically pure Shqiptar Kosovo, which Albanian called "Kosova",
the Shqiptari (Albanians) launched a widescale campaigns of ethnic cleansing and
genocide. Ethnic Serbs in the Kosovo-Metohija regions were massacred, and their
homes were burned, and survivors were brutally driven out and expelled in policy
of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
The Balli Kombetar (BK or National Union) was an Albanian nationalist group led
by Midhat Fresheri and Ali Klissura whose political objective was to in
incorporate Kosovo-Metohija into a Greater Albania and to ethnically cleanse the
region of Orthodox Serbs
The Abanian Committee of Kosovo organized massive campaigns of ethnic cleansing
and genocide against the Orthodox Serbian inhabitants of Kosovo- Metohuja. A
contemporary report described the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Serbs as
follows:
Armed with material supplied by the Italians, the Albanians hurled themselves
against helpless settlers in their homes and villages. According to the most
reliable sources, the Albanian burned many Serbian settlements, killing some of
the people and driving out others who escaped to the mountains. At present other
Serbian settlement are being attacked and the property of individuals and of
communities is either being confiscated or destroyed. It is not possible to
ascertain at the present time the exact number of victims of those atrocities,
but it may be estimated that at least between 30.000 and 40.000 perished.
Bedri Pejani, the Muslim leader of the Albanian National committee, called for
the extermination of Ortodox Serbian Cristians in Kosovo Metohija and for a
union of a Greater Albania with Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Rashka (Sandzak)
region of Serbia, into a great Islamic state. The grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj
Amin El Husseini was presented to Pejani a plan which he approved as a being in
the interest of Islam. The Germans however rejected the plan.
