Battle of Kleçka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Kleçka, also known as the Battle of Dulje or the Battle of Lubocet and Grejçecit, was a clash that occurred between KLA fighters and Yugoslav forces in late August 1998 for the control of the villages of Kleçka, Dulje and their surroundings. The Albanian insurgents resisted the attacks by the Yugoslav Army, but after the death of their highest commander Ismet Jashari, their resistance fell,[2] and Yugoslav forces retook control over Kleçka, together with Luzhnica.[1]
