As the treaties of the Congress of Berlin determined new frontiers that would allow the annexation of Albanian-inhabited territories of the Ottoman Empire by its neighbour states of the Balkans, the league called a general assembly in the city of Prizren.
In the July 1878 assembly of the league, he was elected a deputy of Yakova, his home region, in the General Council of the organisation.
[2] In August of the same year the Ottoman representative in the congress of Berlin general Mehmed Ali Pasha headed to the Kosovo province to disband the league and normalize the transfer of the area of Plav to Montenegro.
League leaders Sulejman Vokshi and Ahmet Koronica delivered him an ultimatum to return to the Ottoman capital or face the consequences of an attack against him.
On September 1, he was stationed in the estates of Abdullah Pasha in Yakova with his total number of retinue reaching 700 and a battalion was expected to reinforce them from Mitroviça.
