Circassians in Kosovo
Ethnic group in Kosovo / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Circassians in Kosovo[lower-alpha 1] were a group of the Circassian people who lived in Kosovo beginning in the mid-19th century, when they were exiled during the Circassian genocide to the Ottoman Empire after the Russo-Circassian War. During this time, the Circassians in Kosovo were from three of the twelve Adyghe tribes: the Abzakh, Shapsug and Ubykh.[3] In 1998 they numbered 200.[citation needed]
