The leaders of the Principality were Alchiviad Diamandi di Samarina (Prince Alchibiades I, 1941–1942), Regent Nicola Matushi (1942–1943) and Count Gyula Cseszneky, Baron of Milvány (Voivode Julius I, 1943). The principality failed to enlist the support of local Vlachs, and ceased to exist after the Italian capitulation in 1943.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“I will use the world and sift it,
To a thousand humors shift it,
As you spin a cherry.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago, and which has swept up within its flame so great a part of the civilized world, has affected us very profoundly.... With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood has burst we are not interested to search for or explore.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
