The Albanian-Austro-Hungarian political relations in the years of World War I are an important element for the economic, social, cultural and educational situation of the Albanians in Southeast Europe. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, as one of the most interested in the geography and the Albanian issue, especially at the beginning of the 20th century, in accordance with its geopolitical and geostrategic interests, aimed at national, cultural, educational and state consolidation of Albanians. In this context, to avoid further territorial fragmentation and to avoid the constant danger posed by neighboring Balkan monarchies, the Albanians welcomed the constructive attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In this context, the visit of the Albanians to Vienna was an appropriate occasion to present to the highest state authorities, the aspirations and position on the course of the First World War and on the Austro-Hungarian administration in the Albanian areas. In the documents and press of the time, the visit and treatment of Albanian personalities is described as a delegation of prominent notables (nobles, leaders, aristocrats), who in the second half of 1917, from April 16th-23rd, stayed at Vienna at the invitation of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, Charles I.

Öz

rnavutlar’ın Avusturya-Macaristan İmparatorluğu ile siyasi ilişkileri ekonomik, sosyal kültürel ve eğitimsel durumları için önemli bir unsurdur. Özellikle, Avusturya – Macaristan yüzyılın başındaki Arnavut coğrafyası ve Arnavut sorunu için en çok ilgilenen güçlerden biri olup, kendi ceostratejik çıkarları doğrultusunda Arnavutlar’ın ulusal, kültürel, eğitimsel ve devletleşme konsolidasyonunu amaçlamıştır. Bu bağlamda Avusturya-Macaristan İmparatorluğu’nun, Arnavut topraklarının parçalanma emellerine ve diger komşu Balkan ülkelerinden gelen tehdidlerine karşı koruyucu tutumundan dolayı Arnavutlar tarafından takdir edildi. Böylece Birinci Dünya savaşının gerçekleri ve Arnavutluk topraklarındaki Avusturya-Macaristan İmparatorluğunun konumu hakkındaki duşuncelerini ifade etme açısından Arnavut Heyeti’nin 1917 yılında ki Viyana ziyareti önemli bir fırsattı. Arnavut heyeti 16-23 Nisan tarihleri arasında Avusturya-Macaristan İmparatoru I. Karl’ın misafiri olarak Viyana’da bulundular. Arnavut heyeti dönemin resmi belgelerinde ve gazetelerde Arnavut seçkinleri (notable) heyeti olarak kayd edilmiştir.
