The Vilayet of Scutari, Shkoder or Shkodra Turkish: İşkodra Vilayeti was a vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. In the late 19th century it reportedly had an area of 5,310 square miles (13,800 km2).[2]
History
The Scutari Vilayet was established in 1867[3] by merging the Sanjaks of Shkodra and Debar.[citation needed] The Sanjak of Scutari was established when Ottoman Empire captured Shkodra in 1479. A big part of Principality of Zeta was added to territory of Sanjak of Scutari in 1499.[4] In 1514 this territory was separated from the Sanjak of Scutari and established as separate Sanjak of Montenegro, under the rule of Skenderbeg Crnojević. When he died in 1528, the Sanjak of Montenegro was merged with Sanjak of Scutari, as unique administrative unit with certain degree of autonomy. [5]
In 1867, the Sanjak of Scutari merged with the Sanjak of Skopje and became the Scutari Vilayet. Its sanjaks were Sanjak of Scutari, Prizren, and Sanjak of Dibra. In 1877, Prizren passed to the Kosovo Vilayet and Debar passed to the Monastir Vilayet, while Durrës (Dıraç) township became Durrës Sanjak. In 1878 after the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) Bar and Podgorica townships were ceded to Montenegro.
In 1912 and beginning of 1913 it was occupied by members of Balkan League during the First Balkan War. In 1914 the territory of Scutari Vilayet became a part of Principality of Albania, established on the basis of peace contract signed during London Conference in 1913.[6]
