The paper analyses the interest and factors that influenced the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes’ attitude toward the Albanian government under Fan Noli. Initially the SCS Government opposed international recog-nition and endorsement, later actively supporting the overthrow of Noli’s government. Diplomatic and military means were used to reach those objectives. A new regime led by Ahmet Zogu came back to power in Albania.Consequently, a new era in bilateral relations was opened in the Balkans.The newly installed regime led by Ahmet Zogu resulted in a calmer nationalist movement of Albanians in the Kingdom of SCS, but at the sametime, Albania became the centre of rivalry between Italy and the Kingdomof SCS in the Balkans, with both powers competing for control over Albania. This article was composed using a comparative and chronologicalapproach based on archival sources and relevant literature. While previousstudies explored this subject using Yugoslav and Albanian sources, this paper uses foreign literature, aiming thus to unveil new insights and neutral perspectives, shedding light on both specific facts and broader international relations. Rad analizira interese i čimbenike koji su utjecali na stav Kraljevine Srba,Hrvata i Slovenaca prema albanskoj vladi pod vodstvom Fana Nolija. Početno je Vlada Kraljevine SHS bila protiv međunarodnog priznanja i podrške, da bi kasnije aktivno podupirala svrgavanje Nolijeve vlade. U tu su svrhu korištena diplomatska i vojna sredstva. Novi režim koji je predvodio Ahmet Zogu preuzeo je vlast u Albaniji. Rezultat je bilo otvaranje novograzdoblja u bilateralnim odnosima na Balkanu. Novi režim pod vodstvom Ahmeta Zogua rezultirao je smirenijim nacionalističkim pokretom Albanaca u Kraljevini Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca, ali je istodobno Albanija postala središte sukoba između Italije i Kraljevine SHS na Balkanu, pri čemu su se obje države natjecale za kontrolu nad Albanijom. Ovaj rad koristi komparativni i kronološki pristup temeljen na arhivskim izvorima i relevantnoj literaturi. Dok su prethodna istraživanja ovoj temi pristupala koristeći jugoslavenske i albanske izvore, ovaj rad koristi stranu literaturu, te tako nastoji steći nove uvide i neutralnu perspektivu, otkrivajući i specifične činjenice, ali i šire međunarodne odnose.
