Boletin (Albanian: Boletin; Serbian Cyrillic: Бољетин) is a settlement in the municipality of Zveçan, Kosovo.[1]
There is a 14th-century Serbian Orthodox monastery in the village, the Sokolica Monastery.
Isa Boletini, an iconic Albanian nationalist and significant military leader of Albanian independence, was born in the village. He was reburied there on 10 June 2015, nearly a century after his death.[2]

Notes
- ^ 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.
