Luigj Palaj

Blessed Luigj Palaj (1887–1913) was a Franciscan Catholic priest and martyr of Albanian ethnicity from Kosovo. He was murdered by Montenegrin Serbs during the Plav–Gusinje massacres for refusing to convert to the Serbian Orthodox Church.

His murder led to the events of massacres and the forced conversions of Albanians being stopped with the intervention of Austria-Hungary in April 1913 after the killing of Palaj.
