History
Since the end of the 13th century Shtime was one of four courts of the King of Serbia in Nerodimlje župa. Its position at that time was on the northern bank of Svrčin Lake.[1]
After the mass expulsion of the Albanians from the former Sanjak of Niş by the Principality of Serbia, many Muhaxhir refugee families settled in Shtime and its surroundings. During the Yugoslav colonisation of Kosovo, 95 Serbo-Montenegrin colonist families were settled in Shtime and the surrounding villages by the Yugoslav government.[2] During World War II, Albanians looted and demolished the Serbian church in the municipality.[3]
