Pogragja (Albanian: Pogragjë) or Podgrađe (Serbian Cyrillic: Подграђе), is a village in the municipality of Gjilan in Kosovo. It is situated on the right bank of the Morava e Binçës River, at the southeast end of Kosovo Pomoravlje.[2]

The village is inhabited by Albanians and is home to the Pogragja Castle[3][2] which was built in the 6th century during the Justian era.[2]

This settlement was affirmed in terms of institutional services with the administrative division until 1953 when it had the function of a municipal center.

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 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.
