Today, Vulçıtrin, one of the major cities of Kosovo, is located 27 km northwest of Kosovo's capital Priştine and 10 km south-east of Mitriviça. Vulçıtrin is located in the northern part of the Kosovo Bay, on the edges of the Chiçavitsa Mountain, on the shore of the Sitnitsa River. The name of Vulçıtrin is in the form of Vulçıtrin in the Albanians, Vucitrn in Slavic sources, Vucitrin in Turks and Vucitrin in the form of Vulçıtrin in Ottoman sources. In 1455 II.
