Žač (Serbian: Жач) is a village/settlement in the Istok Municipality of Kosovo. Recently this village has been in the news, upon resistance to the return of Serbian refugees back to their village.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
No census has been held in Kosovo since 1991, so modern population data is not available. Albanians boycotted the census in 1991, so their numbers for that year are not known.
