The Battle of Podujevo (Albanian: Beteja e Tabeve te Llapashticës) (Serbian: Битка код Подујева, Bitka kod Podujeva) was fought in the Kosovo War between the Yugoslav Special Anti-Terrorist Unit and KLA insurgents in the village of Llapashtica e Epërm in the municipality of Podujevo. These events started after the death of a policeman who was killed by KLA militants in the area.[5]
Battle
The battle occurred between 23–27 December 1998.[5] According to international monitors who contributed to Operation Eagle Eye, this battle shattered a ceasefire called on by foreign forces.[5] At the conclusion of the fighting, the Kosovo Diplomatic Observer Mission monitored a convoy of Yugoslav Army vehicles.[2]
