The Battle of Slivova was fought between the Albanian League of Prizren and the Ottoman Empire in the vicinities of the villages of Slivovë and Koshare near modern-day Ferizaj, Kosovo, between 16 and 20 April 1881.
[6][7] Failing to win their claims on a diplomatic level, Albanians embarked on the route of military conflict with their Balkan neighbours to realise their goals.
[10] Increasing international pressure to "pacify" the Albanians caused the Ottoman sultan to dispatch a great army under Dervish Turgut Pasha, who's objective was to suppress the League and to ultimately hand Ulqin over to Montenegro[11][12] The battle was fought in 1881 near the village of Slivova in Kosovo.
"[16] On April 20, at 6.00, Dervish Pasha attacked on a large scale, targeting Slivova, Shtime, Carraleva Gorge, and then Prizren.
[17] Dervish Pasha ordered 6 cannons to be brought immediately to the hill near Slivova, which opened fire for more than an hour and a half.
