The Ottoman authorities support the Prizren League…

The Ottoman authorities support the Prizren League at first, but the Sublime Porte presses the delegates to declare themselves to be first and foremost Ottomans rather than Albanians

Some delegates support this position and advocate emphasizing Muslim solidarity and the defense of Muslim lands, including present-day Bosnia and Hercegovina.

Other representatives, under Frasheri's leadership, focus on working toward Albanian autonomy and creating a sense of Albanian identity that will cut across religious and tribal lines.

Because conservative Muslims constitute  a majority of the representatives, the Prizren League supports maintenance of Ottoman suzerainty.
