Kotorr (in Albanian) is a village in Kosovo[a] located in the town-municipality of Skenderaj and in the District of Mitrovica. According to the 2011 census, it had 279 inhabitants, all of whom were Albanian.
Geography
The village is located on the north side of the Pec-Mitrovica road, some 8 kilometres north-west of Skenderaj/Srbica.[2]
History
The village was mentioned in the 1455 Ottoman defter (tax registry) of the conquered lands of Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu.[2] The village had an old church, of which only micro-toponyms exist today: "Church" ( Kisha), and "Church Valley" (Lugu i Kishës).[2][3]
After the Kosovo War, during the presence of the NATO-led peacekeeping Kosovo Force, two houses belonging to Serbs were burnt down and one house was illegally occupied.[4]

Notes
- ^ a b 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.
