Abstract

This work treats mainly different aspects of Balkan
politics and religious-political methods the Balkan states followed to get as
much as possible from Albanian territories in the early XIX Century.  Albania’s neighbouring conuntries misused
religion to achieve their shovinist goals and on the other hand clerics were
out of their spiritual domain and served the same shovinist objectives.  Those led to a wave of ethnical cleansing in
all Albanian territories and neighbouring countries.  This material provides historical facts and
documents on the forms and methods used to annex Albanian territories.  It also provides descriptive, historical,
analytical and critical views on the treated events.

Keywords
