On May 8, the Turkish units launched a mass attack, but met the determined resistance of the Albanians. Repeated attacks on May 9&ndash;10 tore through the insurgents&#8217; defense sector in Jezerc. On May 11, Ottoman forces and two other groups assisted by several new battalions from Prizren and Mitrovica surrounded Isa Boletini&#8217;s group. In the afternoon, the insurgents broke the siege and retreated towards Drenica. There were many killed and wounded on both sides. <em>(In the photo: The leader of the battle, Isa Boletini)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif;\">Text:<\/span><\/strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif;\"> <em>Albanian encyclopedic dictionary &#8211; Vol. 1<\/em>, Academy of Sciences of Albania, &#8220;Kristalina-KH&#8221;, Tirana, 2008, page 226.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif;\">Photo: <\/span><\/strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif;\">&copy; Xhoxhi L., personal archive<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif;\">Graphic processing: <\/span><\/strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif;\">AHCF<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Shtime-Jezerc-Carralev\u00eb region (Kosovo), the &#8220;Battle of Carralev\u00eb&#8221; took place, which took place between the Albanian insurgents, led by Isa Boletini, and the forces of the Ottoman army, commanded by General Shefqet Turgut Pasha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ngjarje"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8383"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8383\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12503,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8383\/revisions\/12503"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
