History
Lukomir (Albanian: Llukomiri) had 32 houses inhabited by Serbians and 4 houses inhabited by Albanians before the Expulsion of the Albanians took place in 1877–1878.[2] All Albanians left the Žitorađa region by force of the Serbian army and fled to modern-day Kosovo, which was back then the Vilayet of Kosovo of the Ottoman Empire.
