Battle of Slupčane
Battle during the 2001 insurgency in Macedonia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Slupčane (Macedonian: Битка за Слупчане, Albanian: Beteja e Sllupçanit) was a military confrontation between the Macedonian security forces and Albanian insurgents belonging to the National Liberation Army (NLA), which at the time, was launching a campaign of guerrilla attacks against facilities of the Macedonian Government, the Macedonian Police force, and the Macedonian Armed Forces. The NLA was victorious, in part due to the withdrawal of Macedonian forces[12] and suspension of all military operations in Kumanovo–Lipkovo region so that international officials could inspect the water supply.[13]
