Popovljane (Serbian Cyrillic: Поповљане, Albanian: Popolan) is a settlement in the Suva Reka municipality in the disputed region of Kosovo, southern Serbia. The rural settlement lies on a cadastral area with the same name, with 259 hectares. It lies 796 m above sea level. It has an ethnic Serb majority; in the 1991 census, it had 161 inhabitants.

The first mention of this village is from 1465. At the end of the 19th century, the Russian consul in Prizren mentioned this village and its rural church, which was inhabited by Serbs. The Russian consulate tried to prevent the violence by Albanians from a neighbouring village who did not allow the Popovljanians to have their Orthodox ceremonies in that church. In the Popovljane cemetery there is a , founded in 1626.^[2]^[3]

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.
