Likoshan (Albanian: Likoshani, Serbian Cyrillic: Ликошане/Likošane) is a village in the Glogovac municipality of Kosovo, in the region of Drenica. It was the site of a battle between the KLA and Serbian forces, and a massacre, in February 1998 during the Kosovo War. It is inhabited by Albanians.

Notes

  1. ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as an independent state by 100 UN member states (with another 13 states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition) and 93 states not recognizing it, while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
