 The event which made Hoti a "bajrak" was the decisive role of the 300 fighters from the tribe in the successful defense of Ülgün (Ulcinj/Ulqin).Luc Gjoni Junçaj, until then voivoide, was offered the position of bajraktar on the condition that he converted to Islam.An assembly of all of Hoti, decided that his son Nikë Luca Gjoni (also called Ujk Luca) would convert on the condition that all men of Hoti, who were detained in Anatolia would be released, special taxes would be removed and all men from Malësia would not be conscripted to fight in wars outside of Albanian territory.
