history

Landscape in the surroundings of Bajgora

As part of the Kosovo war, an education or training camp existed from July 1998 in Bajgora the KLA .

In March and April 1999, Serbian troops forced Albanian civilians in Vushtrria and the surrounding villages to leave their homes and apartments. Some of them found refuge in Bajgora, as the area was controlled by the KLA at the time. On May 2, 1999, an offensive by the Serbian armed forces against the KLA on the front line near Bajgora triggered a massive wave of internally displaced persons ( see also: Boshlan ).
