Zhur (Albanian: Zhur or Zhuri, Serbian: Жур / Žur) is a village in the Prizren Municipality in southwestern Kosovo.
History
[edit | edit source]Zhur is an Albanian toponym.[2] The village Zhur was recorded in the Ottoman register of 1452 and had inhabitants with Albanian-Slavic names.[3]
After the Kingdom of Serbia acquired Kosovo in the first Balkan War (1912), Serbia arranged a Military Administration named Žur. The municipality was part of the Srez (Serbian: Šar) of the Prizren District. This administrative subdivision lasted until January 6, 1929, after which the area was made part of the Vardar Banovina in the newly formed Yugoslavia.[4]
Geography
[edit | edit source]Zhur is located in southwestern Kosovo, five kilometers east of Morina in Albania, and eight kilometers west of Prizren. Neighbouring villages include Poslishta and Billusha to the east, as well as Shkoza to the west. The mountain landscape of the Koritnik starts south of the village.
The M-25 goes directly through the village, and the R7 passes north of the village.
