A defense committee was established within Vlora itself the month prior. This committee was meant to organize the liberation war directly but largely focused on sabotage and supply related roles in the city. The Albanian government didn't involve itself directly with this conflict, with their main focus being on keeping support for the Albanian state around the world especially from the British. They attempted to gain guarantees from Yugoslavia and Greece that they wouldn't invade in the advent of a full-out war with Italy. Yugoslavia was quick to offer assurance of this, but a Greek army was slowly invading towards Korca, which the French had just recently departed from. A number of militant bands, as well as regular troops from the Tirana government soon occupied the whole Korca region, proclaiming it's merger with the Albanian state. The Greeks at this time halted the invasion, as the war in Asia Minor required their full focus, and granted the guarantees that had been requested. The British gave vague promises of support but little came of it, they still hoped to have an Albanian state under the control of the great powers, wanting to use Albania as a major source of oil for Britain and France.
