During the early period of Ottoman occupation, Gjakova and the Gjakova Municipality were part of the Nahiya of Altun-ili. Most of the villages in the Nahiya of Altun-ili were dominated by inhabitants with Albanian anthroponomy, which indicates that during the 15th century (as supported by Ottoman defters), the lands between Junik and Gjakova were inhabited by a dominant ethnic Albanian majority.

In 1915, Montenegrin troops entered Albanian villages, and in Junik, Vojvoda Milika Vojvodić from Morača terrorized the local population. According to Milan Scekic in Radio Petnica, Montenegrin officials, especially in Metohija, acted as petty tyrants, disregarding laws and oppressing locals. Vojvodić, as Junik's municipal president, abused his power so severely that even some Montenegrin gendarmes resented him—not out of sympathy for Albanians, but because he hoarded illicit gains instead of sharing them.
