Donje Ljubinje (Serbian Cyrillic: Доње Љубиње, Albanian: Lubinjë e Poshtme) is a village in Prizren Municipality, Kosovo. It is located in the historical region of Sredačka župa. According to the 2011 population census, the village had 1,227 inhabitants, with 1,178 (96%) being Bosniaks.[2]
The village attracts media attention because of the centuries-old tradition of bride decoration among local Bosniak population. This tradition, once widespread in the area, is now only performed by one elder woman from Donje Ljubinje named Sejdefa LJimani.[3][4]
Notes[]
- ^ 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 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.
