Pertempuran Kosovo berlaku pada 15 Jun 1389 antara tentera Serbia yang dipimpin oleh Putera Lazar Hrebeljanović dan tentera Uthmaniyyah di bawah pimpinan Sultan Murad I. Tentera Serbia terdiri daripada tentera Putera Lazar, satu kontinjen yang diketuai oleh bangsawan Serbia iaitu Vuk Branković dan kontinjen yang dihantar oleh Raja Tvrtko I dari Bosnia yang mana panglimanya ialah Vlatko Vuković. Pertempuran ini tercetus di Medan Kosovo yang terletak di bawah wilayah kekuasaan Branković dan pada hari ini ia terletak di Kosovo.
Thus since the Turks also withdrew, one can conclude that the battle was a draw.
Surprisingly enough, it is not even possible to know with certainty from the extant contemporary material whether one or the other side was victorious on the field. There is certainly little to indicate that it was a great Serbian defeat; and the earliest reports of the conflict suggest, on the contrary, that the Christian forces had won.
The outcome of the battle itself was inconclusive.
Losses on both sides were appalling and the outcome inconclusive although the Serbs never fully recovered.
The battle is remembered as a heroic defeat, but historical evidence suggests an inconclusive draw.
The Ottoman army probably numbered between 30,000 and 40,000. They faced something like 15,000 to 25,000 Eastern Orthodox soldiers. [...] Accounts from the period after the battle depict the engagement at Kosovo as anything from a draw to a Christian victory.
