In the north of the country, in Shkodra, on August 7, 1833, Turkish ruler Ali Namik Pasha organized a surprise reprieve; His soldiers entered the Tabak and Theresa neighborhood, where they encountered the armed resistance of Shkodra and were forced to retreat. During the withdrawal, they attacked the city’s bazaar, stole, robbed and killed innocent craftsmen and guilds. This served as a spin for an uprising, which forced the Sultan to change his powers in Shkodra.
