History

Depce belongs to the ethnographic region of Skopska Crna Gora, specifically the subregion of Lapušnica. Until the summer of 1947, the villages of Lapušnica — Depce, Kurbalija, Stanevce, Sefer, Bujić, Cerevajka, Pečeno, Mađare, and Ranatovce—were part of the Municipality of Zhegër (Žegra), located in the District of Gjilan (Gnjilane) and Kosovo. However, they were unexpectedly incorporated by Yugoslav authorities into the Municipality of Preševo, with which they had no cultural ties and only limited connections.[3] All inhabitants descend from the Berisha tribe and are divided into three clans: Ukmemet, Gjinaj, and Zekbasha.[4]
