The attack that Serbia had undertaken in Drenica to destroy the Kosovo Liberation Army was concentrated in Prekaz, in the heart and head of the KLA, by surrounding it.

What happened in early March 1998, was a living testimony to the civilized world and its political and diplomatic leaders. In fact, this event, so direct and so powerful in terms of its unique dimensions of sacrifice, resistance and massacre, raised the issue of Kosovo at the top of the world agenda. On the night of March 4 and 5, 1998, Prekazi was surrounded by numerous military and police forces.
