Events taking place in Old Serbia, especially in Old Serbia, at the end of XIX century and the beginning of XX century were absolutely unfavorable for the Serbs. The main factors in creating such ambience were the Albanians and some Turkish clerks who did not react when it was needed enabling thus even the worst of crimes. One of the high Turkish officials who had an important role in such events was Hamdi-Pasha, an inspector of border troops and a member of the war Council in Yildiz. In these events known, in professional sources, as 'Affair in Ibar Kolašin', Hamdi-Pasha tried to protect the Albanians who had participated in it, neglecting orders from the highest authorities because of his own personal interests. Exclusively, owing to the engagement of the Serbian diplomats, consul in Skoplje and Priština, Milisav Kurtović and Simo Avramović, as well as a Russian consul Viktor Maskov, but also Kosovo vali Mehmed Reshadbey such a role of Hamdi-Pasha was revealed and he was called to Istambul.
