The Battle of Kosovo, fought on June 28, 1389, was a crucial confrontation between the Ottoman Empire, led by Sultan Murad I, and a coalition of Balkan forces, primarily Serbian, under Prince Lazar. It took place on the Kosovo Plain (modern-day Kosovo) and is one of the most iconic battles in Balkan history.
The battle ended in a stalemate, with both leaders—Murad and Lazar—killed. Although the exact outcome remains debated, it is generally seen as a strategic victory for the Ottomans, as the Serbian forces were significantly weakened, paving the way for Ottoman dominance in the Balkans. The battle has deep cultural and historical significance, particularly in Serbian and Balkan memory, symbolizing resistance and martyrdom despite the loss of political power to the Ottomans.
