Janjevci (pronounced [ˈjaːɲeʋtsi], Albanian: Janjevët, Croatian: Janjevci), Kosovo Croats (Albanian: Kroatët e Kosovës, Croatian: Kosovski Hrvati) or Janjevci Croats (Croatian: Janjevski Hrvati[2]) are a Croat community in Kosovo, inhabiting the town of Janjevo and surrounding villages near Pristina, as well as villages centered on Letnica near Vitia (Šašare, Vrnez, and Vrnavokolo),[2][3][4] who are also known as Letničani. They are not officially recognised as a national minority group.[1]
They are considered among the oldest of the Croatian diaspora communities.[1]
