The Malissori are particularly hostile to the Servians. A further Bulgarian reports reads: "Our pursuit of the Servians continues. We have occupied Resna, between Monastir and Ockrida, and Dibra, further north, near the Albanian frontier, after a sanguinary battle." Tho Malissori, or "higbJa:.ilers," is a general name given to about seven groups of Albanian tribes. Abont three-fifths of the Albanians are Moslems.
