Svinjare (Serbian Cyrillic: Свињаре) is a village in northern Kosovo, near Vučitrn. It is a Serb enclave.

During the March 2004 unrest in Kosovo the village was razed by Kosovo Albanians and the village became a ghost town.[1]

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, but 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 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by 108 out of 193 United Nations member states.
