Right after the end of the Kosovo war,the Albanian minority in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,started a similar guerilla war,after tensions with the Slavs. The Albanians in FYROM were about 30% and most of them lived in the North and Northwest of the small country. A lot of weapons came from the Kosovar Albanians who in turn had supplies from Albania and captured Yugoslav stocks.

In 2001,bitter fighting started in Tetovo and various towns and rural areas in the north.
