Geography[]

The village is located on the north side of the Pec-Mitrovica road, some 8 kilometres north-west of Skenderaj/Srbica.[2]

History[]

The village was mentioned in the 1455 Ottoman defter (tax registry) of the conquered lands of Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu.[2] The village had an old church, of which only micro-toponyms exist today: "Church" ( Kisha), and "Church Valley" (Lugu i Kishës).[2][3]

After the Kosovo War, during the presence of the NATO-led peacekeeping Kosovo Force, two houses belonging to Serbs were burnt down and one house was illegally occupied.[4]

Notes[]

  1. ^ a b 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 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 later withdrew their recognition.
