## History

[edit]

The village is mentioned for the first time as the site of the Battle of Pantino in 1167, when Serbian Prince Stefan Nemanja defeated his older brother, and Byzantine ally, Grand Prince Tihomir (r. 1166), and was crowned Grand Prince of Serbia, beginning the reign of the Nemanjić dynasty. In a charter of Emperor Stephen Dušan dating to 1334, the village was granted (metochion) to the Saint Archangels Monastery, the Emperor's foundation, in Prizren. In an Ottoman defter (tax register) of 1455, it was a village with 55 houses. The village is part of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Raška and Prizren.
