Ottoman Kosovo
Kosovo was part of the Ottoman Empire from 1455 to 1913, originally as part of the eyalet of Rumelia, and from 1864 as a separate Kosovo vilayet. During this period several administrative districts (known as ''sanjaks'' ("banners" or districts) each ruled by a ''sanjakbey'' (roughly equivalent to "district lord") have included parts of the territory as parts of their territories. History After the battle of Kosovo in 1389, the rule of the Serbian Empire faded dramatically in the region. Seventy years passed after the Battle of Kosovo before the entire region fell under full Ottoman control. Their hold on Kosovo was gradually established: a Turkish garrison was deployed in Zvečan in 1399 to protect the north, and in 1423, an Ottoman court was set up in Pristina while customs officials managed the road linking Pristina and Novi Pazar. The conquest was only considered complete in 1455 when the mining town of Novo Brdo surrendered to Sultan Mehmet after a 40-day siege. 17th ce ...
