In this time the Catholic bourgeoisie of Shkodra threw the slogan of the cantonization of Albania and of the creation of a Catholic canton centered in Shkodra. The Government of Iliaz Vrioni rejected these demands and took legal actions against those who planted the seeds of dissension among the people.
