Geography

The village is located on the north side of the Pec-Mitrovica road, some 8 kilometres north-west of Skenderaj/Srbica.[1]

History

The village was mentioned in the 1455 Ottoman defter (tax registry) of the conquered lands of Vuk Branković.[1] It had 33 Serbian households served by priest Vladislav.[1] The village had an old church, of which only micro-toponyms exist today: "Church" (sr. Crkva, sq. Kisa), and "Church Valley" (sr. Crkveni do, sq. Ljugu i Kishes).[1][2]

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.[3]
