Berkovo (Serbian Cyrillic: Берково, Albanian: Berkovë) is a village in the Klina municipality, Kosovo. It had a Serbian majority before the Kosovo war. As the village was destroyed, houses were looted and demolished. In 2008 there were some 40 Serbs from 33 families there.[2]

Population

No census has been held in Kosovo since 1991, so modern population data is not available.

Notes

  1. ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as an independent state by 100 UN member states (with another 13 states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition) and 93 states not recognizing it, while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
