Aspects

The Battle of Podujevo (Template:Lang-sr, Boj na Podujevo) was fought in the Kosovo War between the [[Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (Serbia), against KLA insurgents. These events centered around the desire of the Yugoslavs to avenge the death of a Montenegrin policeman who was killed by KLA militants around the area.

Battle

The battle occurred between the 23rd and 27 December 1998. After the battle, KLA militias had to bury 33 insurgents who were killed in the clashes. Also, according to international monitors who contributed to Operation Eagle Eye, this battle shattered a cease-fire called on by foreign forces. At the conclusion of the fighting, the KDOM made an appearance doing a surveillance watch over the convoy of Yugoslav Army vehicles.
