Abstract: The paper investigates the existence of the Republic of Mirdita (July-November 1921) within the context of the relationship between the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, Albania and Italy. Albania’s borders were still internationally unrecognized after the First World War, creating potential for internal turmoils and foreign interference. During the second half of 1921, in Northern Albania, there were clashes between the interests of the government in Belgrade led by Nikola Pašić, the forces of the government in Tirana, which gained Italian support, and regional factions within the country. The importance of Ahmed Zogolli’s (Zogu) decisive role in suppressing the Mirdite rebellion is also highlighted as a significant step toward his rise to power in Albania.
