The Llapi water collection begins in the mountains of Kopaonik in the north and west and its source is considered to be the village of Pollatë, and ends by joining the Sitnica river in Lumadh, municipality of Vushtrri, in the north-west of Pristina.

This area approximately corresponds to the administrative territory of the municipality of Podujevë in the current division of Kosovo.

Podujevë as a city in the Llap region is the most important economic, political, administrative, educational, cultural and health center.

About 120 villages gravitate to this region, although some of them administratively belong to the municipalities of Pristina, Vushtrri or Mitrovica.

Many scholars take the hydronym Lab as ancient and bring it from an alb-, from which lab-, alp- could emerge.

The south part of the region, the Gallap of Llap, were inhabited by Galabri tribe.

[6] Abbot of Diokle from the second half of the 12th century mentions that Rashka or Serbia extended until Arberia(Albania), the region of present day Llap.

Nahija had 219 settlements, which includes some villages of today's municipalities of: Mitrovica, Vushtrri, Skenderaj, about 90% of Pristina and Podujevë as a whole.

When Serbia acquired the Sanjak of Niš in 1877, many Albanians started to leave their houses and to come to the other parts of Kosovo, where Llapi was tone of their first destinations.

Afterwards, the Ottomans built a military cantonment during 1892 and 1899 since they detected Serbian Army movements near the border.

[citation needed] In 1997, the Kosovo Liberation Army was formed, resulting in a Yugoslav-led campaign against it in 1998.
