Manastri Villayet 

The Vilayet of Manastir[3] (Ottoman Turkish: ولايت مناستر, Vilâyet-i Manastır‎)[4] was a first-level administrative division (vilayet) of the Ottoman Empire, created in 1874, dissolved in 1877 and re-established in 1879.[5] The vilayet was occupied during theFirst Balkan War in 1912 and divided between the Kingdom of Greece and the Kingdom of Serbia,[5] with some parts later becoming part of the newly established Principality of Albania.

Administration 

Initially the Manastir Vilayet had the following sanjaks:[6]

  • Sanjak of Manastir
  • Sanjak of Prizren
  • Sanjak of Üsküb
  • Sanjak of Dibra
  • Sanjak of Scutari
After administrative reforms in 1867 and 1877 some parts of the Manastir Vilayet were ceded to newly established Scutari Vilayet (1867) and Kosovo Vilayet (1877).
