The League won over the Venetian forces on 23 July 1448 at the gates of Scutari, and over the Ottomans three weeks later, on 14 August 1448, at the Battle of Oronichea.

As a result, the League soon signed peace with the Republic of Venice, while continuing the war against the Ottoman Empire.

In 1445, the Albanian princes had been invited to the wedding of Skanderbeg's younger sister, Mamica, who was being married to Muzaka Thopia.

As a result, his mother handed the fortress over to Venetian Albania, a stretch of possessions of the Republic of Venice.

Branković, a lord of Serbian Despotate, who was also in dispute with Venice over the Principality of Zeta, expressed his willingness to help Skanderbeg against the Republic but not against the Ottoman Empire.

[2] The Venetians sent an ambassador to Skanderbeg offering him 1,000 ducats to lay aside all claims to Dagnum in return that the Albanians would protect the country and keep the roads free from violence.

Initially offering the garrison at Dagnum the opportunity to surrender, he promptly besieged the fortress upon rejection.

This move forced Venice to redirect to Durazzo two galleys, which initially were bound for Crete, in order to watch over the events there.

[14] On 27 June 1448 Venice sent Andrea Venier, then provveditore at Scutari's Rozafa Castle,[15] to attempt to persuade the Ottomans to invade Albania.

Venetian forces were composed largely of local mercenaries, forming the center of Iurichi's line.

Skanderbeg, seeing his fleeing adversaries, ordered a full-scale offensive, routing the entire Venetian army.

Andrea Venier ordered the capture of Baleci after Skanderbeg had left, forcing Marin Spani to evacuate it.

In retaliation, Hamza Kastrioti, one of Spani's colleagues, attacked a nearby Venetian fortress with what little men he had, but was defeated.

[24] Despite the setbacks while he was away, Skanderbeg continued to focus on campaigning against the Venetian-requested Ottoman incursion at the Battle of Oranik in August 1448.

[13] The conference was held in Alessio and peace was signed by Skanderbeg and George Arianiti who represented the other princes on 4 October 1448.

However, no peace was made between the Ottomans and Skanderbeg until 1463, before the Ottoman-Venetian war was of the same year, who retreated to Macedonia and prepared for another invasion of Albania after their defeat at Oronichea.
