 He settled in Paris where he worked for the Democratic-National Committee "Free Albania", a political organization supported and funded by Western countries where he worked with other nationalists and collaborationists towards the efforts to free Albania from Hoxha's regime and to liberate Kosovo from Yugoslavia.The organization was not successful as a result of multiple conflicts between members of the committee, mainly due to opposing views between pro-Italian/German collaborationists and anti-fascist nationalists, regardless of the many attempts to organize a military takeover of Albania.Abas Ermenji was a staunch defender of Albanians in Yugoslavia and Greece.
