The Albanian–Yugoslav border conflict was a one-year undeclared military confrontation between Albania and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War. The conflict primarily involved cross-border clashes and incursions, as Yugoslav forces pursued Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) fighters operating near the Albanian-Yugoslav border. The most significant engagement occurred in April 1999 near Krumë, Albania, resulting in a tense standoff between Yugoslav and Albanian forces.
