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 Epërme in the municipality of Podujevo. These events started after the death of a policeman who was killed by KLA militants in the area.[13]
Battle
The Battle occurred between 23–27 December 1998. Yugoslav forces had the goal of destroying the ZOLL (Zone of Operations “Llap”) headquarters of the KLA.[14] Before reaching the village of the ZOLL headquarters, the Yugoslav forces were met with strong resistance of the KLA at Tabe.[15] A fierce battle ensued and dozens of Yugoslav offensives were shattered, leaving the Yugoslav forces with heavy losses.[16] According to international monitors who contributed to Operation Eagle Eye, this battle shattered a ceasefire called on by foreign forces. At the conclusion of the fighting, the Kosovo Diplomatic Observer Mission monitored a convoy of Yugoslav Army vehicles.[17]
