Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the Albanian incursions in south Serb borderline regions in 1879. It explains their causes and different modalities of performance. Exact data about damages inflicted by the incursions on state and private property are given. However, the main issue analyzed in this paper is diplomatic repercussion, which occurred as the result of Albanian incursions. It is described in detail how the Ottoman Porte has, under the influence of Great Britain, requested from the Serb government to allow repatriation of all Albanian refugees, who emigrated from the Toplica and Vranje regions during the 1877/78 war. It is stated that the Serb authorities had been eventually compelled to accept such request, but the repatriation did not take place after all. The paper is based on mainly unused documents from Archive of Serbia.
