He was a founding member of the Committee for the National Defence of Kosovo (Kosovo Committee) in 1918. In March-April 1919, he was part of an observer mission sent to the Paris Peace Conference, and was made a senator after the Congress of Lushnja in January 1920. In 1921-1923, Vllamasi was a member of parliament for Kolonja and nominally headed the People’s Party, known as the Clique.

After the communist takeover in November 1944, he was sentenced to ten years in prison, of which he served nine. He was thereafter sent into internment, and worked as a lowly herdsman and, later, as a veterinary at a slaughterhouse in Fier. His political memoirs, from which the following excerpts cove
