Bletajë, formerly known as Stanoci i Epërm (Albanian: Stanoc i Epërm, Serbian Cyrillic: Горње Становце/Gornje Stanovce) until 1999 is a village in Vushtrri municipality, Kosovo.
From 1864 up until the Kosovo War, the village housed a large Circassian community. When the war broke out, however, the Circassian residents were evacuated to the Adyghe Republic, which is their original homeland.
