Ali-paša Šabanagić

Ali-paša Šabanagić, also known as Ali-beg Gusinjski, was a significant figure in Montenegrin history, known for leading the armed resistance against the annexation of the regions of Plav and Gusinje into Montenegro during the late 19th century. His opposition to Montenegro's expansion was rooted in a desire to preserve the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire and protect the interests of the local Muslim population. His legacy remains controversial, as he is celebrated by some as a local hero while simultaneously being viewed as a figure opposing the unification of the region with Montenegro.
