Gusinje

Gusinje is a small town in eastern Montenegro, close to the Albanian border in the Prokletije mountains. The Congress of Berlin awarded it and Plav to Montenegro in 1878, but Albanians of the League of Prizren fought to keep them, and the great powers gave Montenegro the port of Ulcinj instead in 1880. Montenegro gained Gusinje in 1912.
