Settlement

Kushnini

Municipality Prizren

Kushnini is in the municipality of Prizren. An Ottoman register from 1530 documents the settlement under the form Koshtendin. A later register from 1893 documents the settlement under the form Kushtendin.

For 1998–99, the source documents expulsion by Serbian forces. In Osmani’s interpretation, archaeological traces include older burial grounds.
