Radac
village in Kosovo
Radac (also known as Radavc, or Kryedrin) is a village located in Pejë, Kosovo.
History
This village was likely inhabited since prehistoric times. A man's femur was reportedly discovered in the Bukuroshja e Fjetur Cave. Due to its lack of written history, the majority of the village's history is known through tradition.
Demographics
According to the last official census of 2024, the population of Radac is 1,013. Nearly all the inhabitants are Albanians.
Attractions
Radac has seen a considerable growth in tourism and tourist attractions since the turn of the century. This is, in part, thanks to the opening of the resort at the White Drin Waterfall. There are also several other restaurants that take advantage of the village's natural scenery. The Bukuroshja e Fjetur Cave is also open for tourism.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Radac” as village in Kosovo. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as village in Kosovo. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12758044. Authority coordinates are 42.736, 20.322. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2024.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
