History
The village became notorious after 1998 because of the Lapušnik prison camp operated by the Albanian militant organization the UÇK. It also had a famous battle with the KLA and Yugoslav forces, which led to an KLA victory in 1998 known as the Battle of Llapushnik[2][3]
Notes
- The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as a sovereign state by 101 UN member states (with another 13 states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition) and 92 states not recognizing it, while Serbia continues to claim it as a part of its own territory.
