The Battle of Carraleva Pass (Albanian: Beteja e Carralevës) was a battle between Albanian rebels and Ottoman forces during the Albanian revolt of 1910. Shevket Turgut Pasha launched an attack against Albanian rebels who were blocking the Carraleva Pass. After three days of fighting, the Albanian rebels repelled the Ottoman army. After the initial battle, the Ottoman army, aided by local Serbs who knew a shortcut over the mountains,^[3]^[4] nearly encircled the Albanian rebels in Carraleva. Although the rebels managed to escape, many were killed, imprisoned, or interned.^[5]
