The Sanjak of Viçitrina (Albanian: Sanxhaku i Vushtrrisë; Serbian: Вучитрнски санџак / Vučitrnski sandžak; Turkish: Vulçitrin sancağı), also known as the Pristina Pashaluk (Albanian: Pashallëku i Prishtinës; Serbian: Приштински пашалук / Prištinski pašaluk), was a sanjak (second-level administrative division) of the Ottoman Empire in Rumelia (the Balkans), in present-day Kosovo.
Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi visited the capital of the sanjak in 1660 and observed that the population spoke "Albanian and Turkish, but not Bosnian".
[5] According to Ottoman sources, sanjak was inhabited with Albanians, Vlachs, Slavs, Turks, Gypsies and others, of Muslim, Orthodox and Catholic confessions.
[8] In 1864 during the administrative reforms of the era, it was demoted to a kaza of the newly established sanjak of Pristina.
[9] A group of mines on the Kopaonik mountain together with those in Novo Brdo and Janjevo belonged to this sanjak.
