Zym

Zym (in Albanian) or Zjum (in Serbian; Зјум), is a village in the Prizren municipality of southwestern Kosovo.

Geography

The settlement lies in the eastern part of the Has region in Kosovo, known as Prizren Has (the other being Gjakova Has[1]).

History

During the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Zjum was the center of a srez (municipality).[2] In 1970, the village had 122 Albanian houses, hailing from Shkodër Malësia (77 houses), Eastern Malësia (6 houses) and from Mirditë (39 houses), their ancestors having settled here during the 18th century.[3]

During FR Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), the settlement was known as Zjum Has (Зјум Хас, Zym i Hasit), in order to differentiate from Zjum Opoljski in Opolje. Zjum Opoljski was founded by settlers from Zjum Has.[4]

Demographics

According to the 2011 census, it had 1,782 inhabitants, all of whom declared as Albanians.

Annotations

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.
