History
Kosovo War
On 28 August 1998 during the Kosovo War, there was an armed clash in Korroticë, which the KLA successfully defended and inflicted significant losses on the Serbian forces. KLA fighter Halil Pecani was wounded during the clash.[4]
One month later during an offensive in Drenica, the village was surrounded by Serbian forces on 25th September and six of the KLA fighters there had fallen leading to the Temporary Yugoslav occupation of Korroticë.[4]
