Theranda is a large municipality in a mountainous part of south central Kosovo. Its population of almost 87,000 was 96 per cent Kosovo Albanian, most villages being exclusively Kosovo Albanian-inhabited. The main road through western and southern Kosovo, runs through the municipality and through Theranda town, linking the major towns of Ferizaj to the east with Prizren to the south-west. The north-west of the municipality is close to the small town of Malisevo/Maliseve (Rrahovec), the location in the summer of 1998 of a UCK headquarters, and the scene of heavy fighting between the UCK and Yugoslav/Serbian forces (see the entry for Orahovac municipality). To the east, across the boundary in Shtime municipality, the UCK was also heavily concentrated in the Petrovo area.
