The Battle of Pashtrik or Operation Arrow was a 1999 engagement between the KLA with NATO's support against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The main objective of the KLA forces was to capture the line across the White Drin and the Pashtrik peak in order to secure safe passage of weapons and personnel across the Albanian-Kosovo border. KLA fighters managed to seize Mount Pashtrik, its northern slopes and the village of Milaj, on the northern bank of the White Drin by the end of May.
