28. JUN/JUNE 1389. Boj na Kosovu

Kosovska bitka je bila jedna od najvećih bitaka u 14. veku i jedina ikad u kojoj je pao sâm osmanski sultan. Obe strane pretrpele su velike gubitke, ali je osvajač- ka turska armija poražena kao nikad do tad i izbačena iz srpskih oblasti. Ubijen je sultan Murat I, poginuo je i jedan od srpskih zapovednika, knez Lazar Hrebeljano- vić. Bitka na Kosovu je imala značajan uticaj na istori- ju i kulturu balkanskih naroda, a posebno na stvaranje srpskog nacionalnog identiteta. THE BATTLE OF KOSOVO The Battle of Kosovo was one of the largest battles of the 14 th century and the only one that ever witnessed the death of an Ottoman sultan. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but the invading Turkish army was defea- ted like never before and expelled from Serbian lands. Sultan Murat I was killed, as was one of the Serbian commanders, Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović. The Battle of Kosovo had a significant impact on the history and cul- ture of the peoples of Balkan, and particularly on the creation of Serbia‘s national identity.
