History

[edit | edit source]

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 First Battle of Llapushnik.[2][3] Yugoslav forces seized back control of Llapushnik on 27 July 1998 after a second battle.[4] Llapushnik remained under Yugoslav control until 31 March 1999 when Yugoslav forces withdrew from their positions in Drenica after an offensive on the Region.[5]
