Strellc i Epërm (in Albanian) or Gornji Streoc ( Serbian: Горњи Стреоц), meaning "Upper Streoc", is a village in the Deçan municipality of western Kosovo, located between Deçan and Pejë along the mountainous border with Albania. The majority of inhabitants are ethnic Albanians.
The village is a rural settlement of the half-scattered type. [2] It is located on the eastern slopes of the Streoc mountain (2336 m). [2]
The village of Strelac (Стрѣльц; Стрелац) was first mentioned in Serbian medieval documents. [3] [4] Ruins of a medieval fort (known in Serbian as gradište) exist below the village, on the Çeçan mountain. [5] The settlement was later[ when?] divided into two parts, Gornji- (Upper) and Donji (Lower) Streoc. The village name was also spelled Gornje Streoce (Горње Стреоце), [6] Streovce, and Strovce.
During the Crimean War (1853–56), many Serbian families left the kaza (district) of Ipek and Yakova; 20 Serbian families left the village of Streoce. [7]
In 1901, an Albanian from Streoce tried to steal cattle from the Visoki Dečani, and was executed by Ottoman askeri; the mutesarif of Ipek welcomed their act, but his family threatened with vengeance towards the yüz başa of that crew. [8] After some days, an Ottoman crew of 25 was ambushed in Streoce. [8]
Both Gornji Streoc and Donji Streoc were featured in an Episode of the Australian Series Foreign Correspondent prior to the Kosovo War.[ citation needed]
The village had a total population of 3,347 inhabitants according to the 2011 census. [1] The majority of inhabitants are ethnic Albanians.
The village's Albanians hail from Krasniqe. [9]
