Osnovni cilj ovog rada, zasnovanog na izvornoj građi, jeste da objasni bezbednosne, političke, vojne i međuetničke prilike na prostoru Treće armijske oblasti (teritorija Kosova i Metohije) u vreme državnog provizorijuma u Kraljevini SHS. ; The author's analysis, based on ample archival sources, of events and processes taking place in Kosovo and Metohija in the first half of 1920 points to the existence of specific political and security conditions created by the resistance of the Albanian population. The civil and military authorities of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes endeavored to suppress anarchy, prevent internal rebellion and the spreading of Italian and Albanian propaganda promulgating the formation of Greater Albania, and to aid the rebuilding of the Albanian state within the borders which had been internationally recognized in 1913. In anticipation of the Paris Peace Conference final decision regarding the solution of the Albanian question Yugoslav civil and military authorities tried to prevent anarchy in the districts and municipalities of Prizren, Zvecan, Kosovo, and Metohija. Despite these efforts the situation remained unstable as a result of the authorities' inability to persuade members of the Albanian population to consider themselves Yugoslav citizens, thus forming the basis for the precarious political and security conditions in Kosovo, Metohija, western Macedonia, and the peripheral areas of Montenegro in 1920.
