Derviš-beg Alić Sarvanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Дервиш-бег Алић Сарвановић), known as Derviš Alić (Дервиш Алић) or Dervish Bey (Turkish: Derviş Bey) was the Ottoman governor of the sanjak of Montenegro from 1592 to at least 1597. He was from Peć.[1]
In 1592, the Sanjak of Scutari was divided into two parts. Derviš-beg received the sanjak of Montenegro (Ulcinj, Bar and all on the right side of the Bojana river).[2] He had succeeded in dividing the sanjak after bribing the Vizier.[3][4] He held the title of sanjak-bey, and wrote to the provveditore of Cattaro (Kotor) about his acquisition of the sanjak of Montenegro, and also Paštrovići and Perast which were under Venetian rule.[1]
In 1597 he defeated the Serb rebels led by Grdan at the Gacko field.[5] The Montenegrin tribes did not participate in the uprising, only the Brđani.[6] At the time, Sarvanović threatened the Montenegrins through the provveditore of Kotor.[6]
