The protocol agreement on the Autonomous Province of Korçë states in Article 9: "The flag of the Korça kaza will be the traditional flag of Skanderbeg with the tricolor stripes of the French flag". The same flag was raised from the balcony of city hall by the prefect of police Themistokli Gërmenji on December 10, 1916. Present in the public ceremony were also the french commander Henri Descoings and his military personnel. Original surviving flags of this period are currently housed at the Flag Museum in Korçë.
