Berkovo (Serbian Cyrillic: Берково, Albanian: Berkovë) is a village in the Klina municipality, Kosovo. It had a Serbian majority before the Kosovo war. As the village was destroyed, houses were looted and demolished. In 2008 there were some 40 Serbs from 33 families there.[2]

Population[]

No census has been held in Kosovo since 1991, so modern population data is not available.

Notes[]

  1. ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008. Serbia continues to claim it as 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 recognized as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states are said to have recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 15 later withdrew their recognition.
