Battle of Kosovo
The Battle of Kosovo was a battle between Serbian forces and the Ottoman Empire. The result was huge losses on both sides, delaying the Turkish advance into Europe for many years. [1][2] It is considered draw in military terms but it drained Serbia, more than Ottomans, politically for long time.
The battle was fought on St Vitus' Day, 1389. At the time this was June 15, but is now celebrated on the June 28.
