Sanjak of Dibra, or Sanjak of Debar, (Turkish: Debre Sancağı, Albanian: Sanxhaku i Dibrës, Serbian: Дебарски санџак) was one of the sanjaks of the Ottoman Empire which county town was Debar in Macedonia.[1]
Territory and administration
Besides Debar the territory of this sanjak included part of territory of northern Albania, Krujë and areas between rivers Mat and Black Drin.[2] In 1440 Skanderbeg was appointed as sanjakbey of Sanjak of Debar.[3][4]
Scutari, Prizren, Kosovo and Monastir vilayets
In 1867, the Sanjak of Debar merged with the Sanjak of Prizren and Sanjak of Scutari and became the Scutari Vilayet.In 1871 Sanjak of Debar was joined with the Sanjak of Prizren, Sanjak of Skopje and Sanjak of Niš into one vilayet, Prizren Vilayet, which became part of the Kosovo Vilayet when it was established in 1877.[5][6]
The Sanjak of Debar was separated from the Kosovo Vilayet and attached to the Monastir Vilayet after Berlin Congress in 1878.[7]
Disestablishment
During the First Balkan War in 1912 and beginning of 1913 Sanjak of Debar was occupied by the Kingdom of Serbia. In 1914 the territory of Sanjak of Scutari became a part of Principality of Albania, established on the basis of peace contract signed during London Conference in 1913.[8] On the basis of the Treaty of London signed during the London Conference in 1913, its territory was divided between Serbia and newly established Albania.
