In Delvin, on July 6, 1914, Congress Panepiriot, one of the maneuvers of Greek chauvinists, was opened for the annexation of South Albania. He had to ratify “Corfu Protokoli,” but asked the International Border Commission to review the contents of the Protocol and declare the autonomy of southern Albania. At this time, the “holy companies”, which were units of the Greek army, invaded Korca, Kolonja and Tepelena. But the Pan-Pireo’s plans fought in the armed resistance of Albanian patriots.
