History

Perspective
In Medieval Serbia, the župa (province) of Sirinić (first mentioned in a charter of the 13th century, the second time in 1331, in a charter of Emperor Stephen Dušan) existed, covering the whole of modern Štrpce municipality, having two cities, Gradište (in Brezovica) and Zidinac (in Gotovuša), near Berevce. Several remains of Byzantine forts exist in the region.[5]
In 1894, the village had 62 houses, all ethnic Serb.[6]
According to data from 1938, the village had the following kin families, with their number of houses, traditions (Krsna Slava, patron saint day), and history:[7][8]
- Đurinac (13 houses, Slava of St. Nicholas).
- Mutavdžijin (1 house, St. Nicholas).
- Šarkočević (13 houses, St. Nicholas).
- Kovačević (11 houses, Vavedenje), settled from the vicinity of Kaçanik.
- Popović (6 houses), Krpačević (4 houses) and Boško (5 houses), all with the Slava of St. Demetrius. They hail from Montenegro, from where they settled in Mushtisht, in Metohija, then in Berevce at the end of the 18th century. They are kin to the Popović of Gornja Bitinja.
