This battle was significant in the struggle for control over the Balkans, marking a pivotal moment in the rise of the Ottoman Empire. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and while the battle ended in a stalemate, it set the stage for the eventual Ottoman conquest of Serbia. The battle is often remembered for its cultural and historical impact, particularly in Serbian history. It has become a symbol of national identity and resistance against foreign domination. The Kosovo Polje, or Kosovo Field, where the battle occurred, remains a site of great importance in Serbian folklore and national consciousness.
