History

During the Kosovo War, the Albanian population was expelled and their 65 houses were burnt.[3]

During the March 2004 unrest in Kosovo, the village was razed by Kosovo Albanians, and the village became a ghost town.[4]

In 2014, an Industrial Park was built, which has an area of 48 hectares.[5]
