It is the largest city in the Drenica region of Kosovo. [http://www.osce.org/documents/mik/2008/04/1278_en.pdf OSCE Municipal Profile, April 2008] ]

Features

It is populated mainly by Albanians (95%). It is the poorest city in Kosovo, and is the place where the Kosovo War began in 1998, and to which the most damage was done.

Demographics

Economy

Srbica has historically been the poorest municipality in Kosovo, with little investment having been made since thetime of the former Yugoslavia. It suffers from low economic activity and continuous high unemployment. Agriculture is the major local industry but the municipality has not fully developed existing arable land. Today, the local economy consists of small enterprises such as family-run shops and restaurants while two privatized factories, a brick and a flourmill,employ a few hundred people. The other major sector of employment is the municipality’s civil service.

port

Srbica is home the Kosovar Superliga football club KF Drenica.
