Sažetak

The paper analyses the interest and factors that influenced the Kingdom of
Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes’ attitude toward the Albanian government un
der Fan Noli. Initially the SCS Government opposed international recog
nition and endorsement, later actively supporting the overthrow of Noli’s
government. Diplomatic and military means were used to reach those ob
jectives. A new regime led by Ahmet Zogu came back to power in Albania.
Consequently, a new era in bilateral relations was opened in the Balkans.
The newly installed regime led by Ahmet Zogu resulted in a calmer na
tionalist movement of Albanians in the Kingdom of SCS, but at the same
time, Albania became the centre of rivalry between Italy and the Kingdom
of SCS in the Balkans, with both powers competing for control over Al
bania. This article was composed using a comparative and chronological
approach based on archival sources and relevant literature. While previous
studies explored this subject using Yugoslav and Albanian sources, this pa
per uses foreign literature, aiming thus to unveil new insights and neutral
perspectives, shedding light on both specific facts and broader internation
al relations.
