Albanian victory[1] The siege of Prekaz was an encirclement of the Jashari family house on December 30, 1991, by heavily armored Serbian police (MUP).

[6] The day before the initial siege, Adem Jashari received a call from a trusted friend warning him of an approaching MUP convoy with armored vehicle's and helicopters.

In response, Adem and his brother Hamëz gathered four friends and relatives and sought refuge in the neighboring village of Kodra.

[7][8] Believing it was safe, Adem and Hamëz returned home in the early hours of December 30, but they were met with gunfire from Serbian policemen.

During the ensuing shootout, a mob of both armed and unarmed Albanians converged on the Jashari home, effectively breaking the siege and forcing the MUP unit to retreat and subsequently declare Prekaz a "no-go area".
