District changes in 2000[edit]

Districts and municipalities of Kosovo.

Under the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), established in 1999, new districts
were formed in 2000.

on the territory of the Kosovska Mitrovica District it made new District of

Mitrovica.

on the territory of the Pe District it made new District of Pe and District of

Gjakova and additionally:

it transferred the municipality of Orahovac to the District of Gjakova.

it split the Kosovo District in two the new District of Pristina and District of
Ferizaj.

it renamed the Kosovo-Pomoravlje District as the District of Gjilan.

it transferred the municipality of Novo Brdo to the District of Pristina.

it reformed the Prizren District into District of Prizren by the following:

it merged the municipalities of Gora and Opolje into the new

municipality of Draga

it formed new municipality Malievo by taking territories from the

municipalities of Orahovac (Prizren District/District of Gjakova), Suva
Reka (District of Prizren), Klina (District of Pe) and Glogovac (Kosovo
District/District of Pristina).

it transferred the bigger part of Orahovac municipality that is outside of

the new municipality of Malievo to the District of Gjakova.

Serbia protested about the new territorial division and does not see it as legitimate, but by the United Nations
Mission in Kosovo administration implemented it regardless of Serbia's protests, because it has such
authority[citation needed] established by virtue of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244.
