The Albanian Question: Tusi, offered in exchange for Gusinje, 1880. Creator: Unknown.

The Albanian Question: Tusi, offered in exchange for Gusinje, 1880. '...the full storm of war threatens the northern frontier of Albania and hovers over the grey peaks of Montenegro...During the last month events have marched apace in Albania. In vain have foreign Ambassadors and Delimitation Commissioners sought to settle the unrest on the Northern border by giving an equivalent of ground at Tusi, near the head of the Lake of Scutari, in exchange for Gusinje. But the peaceable solution to the Albanian question seems as distant as ever, for Tusi lies within the territory of the Roman Catholic tribes of Albania; and promptly have the highland Christians, aided by their neighbours of the Miridite mountains, risen en masse to guard the place. Thus, between Mohammedan fanaticism and Christian ferocity, the quiet transfer of territory to Montenegro is impossible'. From "Illustrated London News", 1880.
