Bitter opponent of the communists, after failed attempts to engage some serious support from the British emissaries, he was forced to exile, first in Greece and later in Belgium as a political refugee.

Born 4 May 1897 in Skuraj, Kurbin, Prenk Pervizi would go on to be considered a patriot, a military leader and a character of great significance and importance in the modern history of Albania.

Albania was divided by Zog into four military zones and Pervizi was in charge along with the other three captains (Muharrem Bajraktari to the north, Fiqri Dine for the north-west, and Hysni Dema to the south).

In November–December 1926, another rebellion had broken out in the Catholic regions of Dukagjin, Shala, and Shod in the north Albania, allegedly supported by Yugoslavia to destabilize the country.

In three days the rebellion was quelled and its leaders Ndok Gjeloshi and Dom Loro Caka fled from Albania while others were arrested and prosecuted.

Pervizi was a special guest invited to the wedding of Prince Umberto, whose mother was Elena of Montenegro, and who supported the theory that Montenegrins and Albanians were of the same Illyrian origin.

He apologized for not having promoted him to higher ranks, and tried to repair the serious mistakes of not listenign to the advice of his loyal friend and respected military figure.

Once he returned to Albania, Pervizi was met by the Generals Alberto Pariani and Alfredo Guzzoni, asking him to adapt to the situation and explaining to him that they were not interested in losing the existing Albanian army.

He was formally given the rank of Colonel, as Italians were aware of his figure and patriotic influence and sympathy that he enjoyed in the army and the population, and they were afraid to give an excuse a discontent that could deteriorate into an armed rebellion.

Pervizi immediately returned to the headquarters and protested in the face of two generals Visconti Prasca and Ubaldo Soddu, and all the Italian command, that Albanian soldiers were not to be used as cannon fodder.

Korçë was left with a small company led by Spiro Moisiu, back then a lower rank officer, and was soon occupied by the Greek army.

Italians, angered by this act, asked to bring those responsible before a military tribunal, but in the end, fearing further complications and worse consequences, the only proceeding was the transfer of Albanian soldiers in the mountains of the north while Pervizi got dislocated and isolated in the area of Puka.

[2] Pervizi was mentioned at the Conference of Mukje in August 1943, where he was proposed as commander-in-chief of the Albanian army (acting as Minister of Defence), after the surrender of Italy on 8 September 1943.

On 23 October, he was elected Minister of Defense and promoted to the rank of General of Division, thus enabling him to reform the Albanian army and strengthening the northern border to prevent attempts to re-annex Kosovo by Serbia.

Partisans attacks led him to abandon Tirana in favor of the mountains, where he joined the British mission in Albania (August 1944) in the region of Kurbin (Skuraj), in an attempt to organize the struggle against the Communists.

He proposed to the British to form a commanding unit with them, and organized militarily forces to oppose the Communists who were about to take power without meeting any significant resistance.
