Rostuša

Rostuša (Macedonian: Ростуша) is a village in Republic of Macedonia. It is a seat of the Mavrovo and Rostuša municipality.

In 1426 Gjon Kastrioti from Albania and his three sons (one of them was Skanderbeg) donated the right to the proceeds from taxes collected from the villages Rostuša and Trebište and from the church of Saint Mary, which was in one of them, to the Hilandar.^[1]
