Following the Greek capture of the strategic Këlcyrë/Klisura Pass on 10 January, the Italians attempted to recover it by launching counter-attacks against the Greek II Army Corps (1st, 15th and 11th Infantry Divisions).
The capture of the strategic pass by the Greek army was considered a major success by the Allied forces, with the Commander of the British forces in the Middle East, Archibald Wavell, sending a congratulatory message to Alexander Papagos.

After its successful counter-attack and the Battle of Morava-Ivan, the Hellenic Army penetrated deep into Italian-held Albanian territory, taking control of the local urban centers of Gjirokastër and Korçë (December 1940).
