Urosevac

Uroševac (Урошевац) is a town located in the province of Kosovo in Serbia and Montenegro at 42.38° North, 21.17° East. Its Serbian name commemorates the medieval St Uroš, who is also commemorated by a cathedral in the town (badly damaged in June 1999). In Albanian, the city is known as Ferizaj. In 2003 the city had a total population of 39,800. In 1998, prior to the Kosovo war, the population was recorded as 57,421, of whom 82.1 per cent were Kosovo Albanian, 9.4 per cent Serb, and the remainder from various other national communities. The population is now believed to be almost entirely Kosovo Albanian.
