Pretash was born in Kojë (Koći), an Albanian-inhabited village in eastern Montenegro, close to the border of Albania, the second oldest of the 12 sons of Zek Nika Ulaj. Pretash was the leader of the Kojë brotherhood (of the village of Kojë), an Albanian enclave within the Kuči mountain of Montenegro. Many died that day and the Ottomans were defeated.
About a year and a half later, the Albanian flag was risen officially in the southern town of Vlora.
