the spread of Islam among Kelmendis in Sandžak from the link:
1711. Ottomans again attacked again Kelmend because of revenge for the rebellion, but Kelmendis defeated them. They triumphantly formed a march of horseman, which broke through to Pešter to lead back the remaining Kelmendis. But the detachment was astonished when they realized that of 130 families only 50 wanted to came back, and 80 families refused to return. For their home they have chosen Sandžak and for their neigbours with whom they will share own destiny - Bosniaks of Sandžaka (there was no Bosniaks at all in 1711. especially not in Sandžak, but it's just mainstream Boniak mythomania).
Pasha allowed to return Catholic missionaries and to build churches in Ugao and Kamešnica.
In Sandžak the remaining Kelmendis mixed with native population in Novi Pazar, Sjenica and Rožaje, and with time took language, religion and culture from them. Under the influence of imam from mosque in Ugao from 1721. to 1737. large number of Kelmendis converted to Islam.
They posted in the chart that in 1721. on Pešter in 29 villages lived 1672 Catholic Kelmendis in 205 houses, and Franciscan missionary Leonardo from Cestellucci ethnic Italian who knew Albanian language was in charge for the other Kelmendis on Pešter.
Old man from on video village Ugao on Pešter say people from that village including him are Albanians, but Sulejman Ugljanin (
