Demographics
Shtime/Štimlje's demographics have changed significantly since the 1999 conflict. Most members of the Serb and Bosniak community moved out of the municipality after the conflict, and have not returned since. Most Ashkali live in the city of Shtime/Štimlje or in the village of Gjurkoc/?urkovce.
Accurate population statistics are not available for Kosovo. The numbers presented here are estimates by the Municipal Community Office, cross-checked with OSCE Municipal and Community Profiles and civil society organisations. For more information on Statistics in Kosovo click here
