This article focuses on the writings of three Serbian writers who took part in these campaigns in Albania from 1912 to 1920—Dimitrije Tucović's 1913 Albanska pisma (The Albanian Letters), Kosta Novaković's war diary Četiri meseca u srednjoj Albaniji (Four Months in Central Albania), published in part in January 1913 and in a complete form in 1914, and Dragiša Vasić's Dva meseca u jugoslovenskom Sibiru (Two Months in the Yugoslav Siberia), which appeared in 1921. In contrast to Serbian officials and the mainstream press of the time, or their patriotically loyal compatriots who praised the Balkan Wars and their achievements, these three writers strongly criticized the Serbian government for its waste of human lives, accused the army of corruption and negligence, and stigmatized what they saw as Serbian imperialism and its devastating consequences on Serbian-Albanian relations.
