The Sandzak Pljevlja , even Sanjak of Taschlidscha ( Turkish Taşlıca Sancağı , Serbo-Croatian  Пљеваљски санџак / Pljevaljski Sandzak ), was a district ( Sanjak ) of the Ottoman Empire in Southeast Europe from 1880 to 1913. Its territory today corresponds to the northeast of Montenegro ( Pljevlja , tur. Taşlıca ) and the southwest of Serbia ( Prijepolje and Priboj ).

history

The region became part of the Ottoman Empire through the Ottoman conquests from the middle of the 15th century. The Sanjak Novi Pazar comprised since 1865 a strip in the northeast of today's Montenegro ( opštine Bijelo Polje , Berane , Pljevlja and Rožaje ) and southwest of today's Serbia ( opštine Nova Varoš , Novi Pazar , Priboj , Prijepolje , Sjenica and Tutin ), as well as parts of the northern Kosovo (area around Kosovska Mitrovica ). In 1877 the Sanjak Novi Pazar came to the newly created Vilayet Kosovo .

At the Berlin Congress in 1878, the Ottoman Empire had to recognize the independence of the principalities of Serbia and Montenegro . The Sanjak Novi Pazar between the two remained with the Ottoman Empire and formed a connection between Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is also Ottoman under international law, and the core area of ​​the Ottoman Empire. However, Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina and was also granted the right to station troops in Pljevlja with the Sanjak Novi Pazar.

In 1880, Pljevlja became the seat of a newly formed sanjak of the same name (Pljevlja, Prijepolje and Priboj ). As a border town, Pljevlja became a garrison with over 5,000 soldiers and their families. This led to a transformation from an oriental to a western city. In 1880 the city received its first hospital and in 1889 the first brewery. In 1908 the Austrians withdrew again.

After the annexation of Bosnia by Austria-Hungary in 1908, the Habsburg troops left the Sanjaks Pljevlja and Novi Pazar, and Austria-Hungary renounced any rights in this area vis-à-vis the Ottoman Empire. In the First Balkan War in 1912, Serbian and Montenegrin troops conquered the Sanjak Pljevlja and the city of Pljevlja, thus finally ending the Ottoman rule. In the London Treaty , the Sanjak Pljevlja was awarded to the two states in 1913. The town of Pljevlja became part of the Kingdom of Montenegro , which became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes after the First World War .
