Central Committee for Defending Albanian Rights
- Central Committee for Defending Albanian Rights
The Central Committee for Defending Albanian Rights was formed in the city of Constantinople in 1877 by an influential group of political scientist Albanian intellectuals. The goal of the committee was to disseminate the idea of an autonomous Albanian region within the steadily diminishing Ottoman Empire. The Committee's plan and ideals were, printed in the Tercuman i Sark paper, which anticipated the founding of a single Albanian vilayet that would encompass the Kosovo, Manastir, Janina, Salonika and Scutari vilayets, plus a few smaller territories. As support for both the committee and the idea of a united Albania grew, supporters decided to meet in the city of Prizren. This became the 1st meeting of what came to be known as the Prizren League.
