Geography

The settlement lies in the eastern part of the Has region in Kosovo, known as Prizren Has (the other being Gjakova Has[2]).

History

During the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Zjum was the center of a srez (municipality).[3] 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.[4]

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.[5]

Demographics

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

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 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognized as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 15 later withdrew their recognition.
