The Kosovo Operation (October 15–November 20, 1944) was a series of military operations leading up to one final push during World War II, launched by the Bulgarian army (commanded by Major General Kiril Stanchev)[1] with the assistance of Yugoslav and Albanian Partisans to expel German forces from Kosovo and prevent the retreat of German forces from Greece. The operation resulted in the capture of Kosovo by the Communists.
