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.Шаблон:Citation needed
History
Arrival in Kosovo
After the Circassian genocide following the Russo-Circassian War, large number of Circassians were exiled to the Ottoman Empire, including in Kosovo.[2] Between 1858 and 1862, 6,000 Circassian families settled in Kosovo.[2][3] Other Circassians were settled in Niš and Prokuplje between 1862 and 1863.[2][4] Around 12,000 Circassians were once again sent to Kosovo and Serbia in following months.[2][5] In total, 40,000 Circassians were settled in Kosovo alone.[6]
The Ottoman Empire aimed to make life easier for the newly arrived Circassians, and did not tax them and they were provided with materials to farm with.[2][7] The Circassians were not well received by both Albanians and Serbs.[8] Both Albanians and Serbs considered the Circassians to be wild and primitive Barbarians.[8] People of the Kosovo region as well as some regional governors helped Circassians.[2][9][10] Since there was no mosque in Babimusa, where more than 200 Circassian families were settled, the local administration started to work on the construction of a mosque at the end of 1864.[2][11]
Decrease in population
Majority leaving the region (1877–1878)
The Circassians in Bulgaria fiercely opposed the Bulgarian Revolt in 1876. Kosovo Circassians also joined the Bulgarian Circassians.[2][7] European countries in turn demanded that the Circassians leave the region.[12]
Circassians sided with the Turkish army during the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878).[7] After the war, the Circassians were seen as a "Muslim threat" and expelled from Kosovo, Bulgaria and other parts of the Balkans by Russian armies following the end of the Russo-Turkish war. They were not allowed to return,[13][14] so the Ottoman authorities settled them in new other lands such as in modern Jordan (see Circassians in Jordan), where they would have conflict with Bedouin Arabs,[15] and Turkey (see Circassians in Turkey).[16]
Last remnants leaving for Adygea (1998-1999)
When the Kosovo War began, the Circassians in Kosovo emigrated to their ancestral homeland, Republic of Adygea, where they founded a village named Mafekhabl near the republic's capital of Maykop.[17] Muammar Gaddafi sent support and donations to the village. Gaddafi, according to his own words, showed a deep respect for the Circassians and their historical suffering.[18]
