The Glogovac attack was an armed confrontation in May 1993, where the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) ambushed Serbian police. This attack is considered the first armed engagement by the KLA. The incident was carried out by Hashim Thaçi, also known as "The Snake," who later became one of the leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army.

As a result, Hashim Thaçi was later pursued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, according to Articles 551 and 554 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the order of the District Court in Pristina, K-37/97. He was sought for the purpose of serving a 10-year prison sentence.
