Đakovica or Djakovica (Serbian language: Ђаковица, Đakovica; Albanian language: Gjakova or Gjakovë) is a city in western Kosovo, a Serbian province under United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo since the 1999 Kosovo War. It is located at .

There are a number of theories concerning the name of the town: that it derives from the Serbian word wikt:dijakMirjana Detelić: Градови у хришћанској и муслиманској епици, Belgrade, 2004 ISBN 86-7179-039-8; that it is named after one of the large land-owners of the area, Jak Vula - Jakova - Gjakova - (Serb Djakovica); or that it derives from the Albanian word for "blood" (wikt:gjak).

Geography and population The name is also given to the surrounding administrative district, which covers an area of about 521 km², including the town of Gjakova, and 84 villages. Before the Kosovo War it had a population of about 145,000. Kosovo Albanians constituted 93% of this community. The post-war population is now estimated to be about 150,000 people, out of which 90,000 live in the town, and the rest, 60,000 inhabitants reside in the surrounding villages.

History Đakovica in the Kosovo War Đakovica had a pre-war population estimated by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to be 93% Kosovo Albanians and 7% non-majority communities, including some 3,000 Kosovo Serbs, who mostly lived in the main town. The town was extremely badly affected by the war, suffering great physical destruction and large-scale human losses and rights abuses.

Yugoslav units stationed in and near the town, two military barracs to be more precise since the risk of an intrusion from KLA from across the border with Albania was evident, were attacked on several occasions by NATO forces. In one incident, NATO aircraft misidentified a convoy of Albanian refugees and attacked it, killing dozens of civilians.

Actions on the ground had a devastating effect on the town. According to the ICTY, OSCE, and international human rights organisations, about 75% of the population was forcibly expelled from the town by Serbian police and paramilitaries as well as Yugoslav forces, with many civilians being killed in the process. Large areas of the town were destroyed, chiefly through arson and looting but also in the course of localised fighting between government security forces and members of the Kosovo Liberation Army. The actions of the government forces in Đakovica formed a major part of the United Nations war crimes indictment of the then-President Slobodan Milošević.

During the Kosovo war this municipality was heavily affected and many atrocities were committed against the local Albanian population. The number of missing people from this municipality is among the highest in all Kosovo, numbering over 300. In the course of the current year several dozens of corpses have been identified and returned to their families, though it still remain a relatively small number compared to the figures of those who are still missing. As a result, any reference to the return of the former Kosovo Serb population remains highly sensitive.

During the NATO bombing campaign, it was the site of the NATO bombing of Albanian refugees near Đakovica.

Most of the Albanians population returned following the end of the war. Albanians and other communities such as Egyptians and Roma, were successful in building free market system and new democratic institutions. In 2001 occurred free democratic election were majority leaded LDK. People from Đakovica are known to be very open minded and advanced. There were thousands of new stores rebuild and opened. Qarshia e Madhe is a good example were hundreds of stores destroyed during the war; in 2001 were build again as there were before the war. New media were launched such as Radio Gjakova, Radio Pandora, Radio Amadeus, TV Syri. Commencement of factory was influenced by local business. IMN brick factory was one of them commenced for the emergency need of population. Business were booming, foreigner organizations were good supporter and mainly their activities are based on free market trade.
