Circassians in Kosovo

The Circassians in Kosovo (Adyghe: Косовам ис Адыгэхэр, romanized: Kosovam yis Adıgəxər; Albanian: Çerkezët në Kosovë; Serbian: Черкези на Косову) are a small group of the Circassian people who lived in Kosovo beginning in the mid-19th century, when they relocated to the Ottoman Empire after the Circassian defeat in the Caucasian War. During this time, the Circassians in Kosovo were from three of the twelve Adyghe tribes: the Abzakh, Shapsug and Ubykh.^[1] In 1998 they numbered 200. When the Kosovo War began, they emigrated to the Republic of Adyghea in the Russian Federation as refugees due to the violence. There they founded an aul named Mafekhabl near the republic's capital of Maykop.^[2]
