History

In the Middle Ages the village was known as Radostuša. In 1426 Gjon Kastrioti and his three sons (one being Skanderbeg) donated the right to the proceeds from taxes collected from the villages Rostuša and Trebište and from the church of Saint Mary, which was in one of them, to Hilandar.[1]

From 1929 to 1941, Rostuša was part of the Vardar Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Culture

Saint Jovan Bigorski Monastery is located nearby.

gollark: Nuclear is much better, but people go "OH NO NUCLEAR SCARY" and yet seemingly do not care about the alternative effectively being fossil fuels?
gollark: Or batteries, which have their own problems.
gollark: The panels are really energy-intensive to produce anyway, degrade after 20 years, and you need uncool fossil-fuel plants to cover for the solar panels when they don't produce, which is often.
gollark: Except for remote places which can't get grid connectivity.
gollark: Solar is somewhat uncool in my opinion.
