I don’t think that they’d risk it without the guaranteed support of a major power. A war with Austria-Hungary over Albania is to risky.So you're saying Serbia and Greece would never push it to the point where it comes to war?

Ah yes, giving Serbia what it wants is sure to curb its ambitions.what did I just say to you I want to put Serbia in a position where they can't act crazy and if they do they don't cause a World War they are rogue nation that gets tooken down by a coalition of Nations.
Nah, get the rest of the Great Powers to stand back and watch as Serbia gets choke slammed through a glass coffee table by the Austro-Italian coalition.If you want to prevent Serbia from causing WW1 then let the Ottomans win the Balkan War. But thats not what the op asked about.
here you are trying to protect the poor minority albanians and now you want the Ottoman Empire to win they would carry out Mass executions of people if they won the Balkan War you don't make any sense and I'm done you're just arguing for the sake of arguing now.

to be frankly honest Albania should never have existed when Italy demanded it's creation everyone else should have kicked him in the balls and told him to shut up. this would have greatly calm down the tensions in the Balkans for some time if Serbia and Greece were given Albania's land they would have given up their claims over land promised to Bulgaria. no second Balkan war no destabilizing of the Russian control over most of the Balkan States
it's not mention much but also a lot of people living in the Balkans especially East Orthodox consider this an betrayal by the Russian Empire yeah sure you're the Protectors of the East Orthodox Faith you just let a muslim-majority Albania pop into existence after we conquered It.

They were fairly sour over that already- and the crisis was a couple months, nearly two years if one counts the Italo Turkish War and Balkan War.
Maybe have Bulgaria manage to take Constantinople, or a Maine style incident with an Austrian vessel sent to Durres, or move up the assassination attempt on Franz Ferdinand. IF Russia decided to go to war, then that would set off the chain reaction as OTL- but not quite the same, as Russia did partially mobilize during the crisis to keep Auatria from intervening.
Actually maybe have Italy either suffer more during the war (sticking in longer) or do better and push for gains in the Balkans. Something with the Dardanelles? The Italians made a raid on Gallipoli IIRC. Really I think constantinople or Armenia would have to be the dealbreaker pressing the russians not to back down- that or Serbia, Greece, or Bulgaria looking on the verge of defeat/occupation by the Ottomans and/or Austrians (maybe Greece tries to take Rhodes, causing a clash with Italy? The Balkan league losing the Greek navy to the Italians doing a drive by could be enough to allow the Turks to win the war) since somehow I doubt the Young Turks would be happy with status quo ante if they managed to push the Serbs back over the border. There is no immediate impetus to war, nor insult to bonor- no perceived existential threat to Russian interests in the Balkans- quite the contrary!
