Žač (Serbian Cyrillic: Жач, Albanian: Zallçi) is a village/settlement in the Istok Municipality of Kosovo[a]. The village was in the spotlight in 2010, when Serbian refugees were denied the right to return to their homes.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Serbia continues to claim it as a part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognised as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states have recognised Kosovo at some point, of which 15 states later withdrew their recognition.
