Prek Cali or Prenk Cali was a bayraktar of the Kelmendi Catholic clan in the northern Albanian region near Vermosh, nationalist, and anti-communist. Born in Vermosh, he fought in the Battle of Deçiq against the Ottoman Empire, and later against the Kingdom of Serbia, and finally against the communist forces under Enver Hoxha. Hoxha had him lured and killed him on Palm Sunday.
Plav and Gusinje
At the beginning of the Second World Prek Cali had between 200 and 1,200 armed men around Vermosh under his command. He took control over Plav and Gusinje in 1941, before Italian forces occupied it.
Anti-Communist struggle
Death
By the end of the Second World War, the main military and political force of the country (the communist partisans) concentrated to the north of Albania to destroy the anti-communist forces and to eliminate its rivals. They met an open resistance in Nikaj-Mërtur (adjacent region in Tropojë District), Dukagjin and Kelmend, which chieftains were openly anti-Communists. In January 15, 1945, a battle between partisans of the first Brigade (supported later by 23rd and 24th Brigade plus Yugoslav partisan forces) and anti-communist forces was fought at Tamara Bridge. Partisan forces lost 52 partisans; consequently, their communist terror was unmatched. About 150 Kelmendi people were killed, burnt alive, had their eyeballs out, were buried in holes or cruelly tortured. Their leader Prek Cali was surrounded in a cave in Vukël for a week; after that he surrendered. He was executed.
In literature and arts
Mihailo Lalić mentioned Cali in his novel "Pramen Tame" and short story "Posljednje brdo".
