context_page_description: Kosovo Serbs are one of the ethnic groups of Kosovo. There are around 96,000 Kosovo Serbs as of 2014 and about 3/4 of them live in North Kosovo. Other Serb communities live in southern Kosovo. After Kosovo Albanians, they form the second largest ethnic community in Kosovo.
  The medieval Kingdom of Serbia and the Serbian Empire included parts of the territory of Kosovo with Prizren serving as capital for a time until its subsequent annexation by the Ottomans following the Battle of Kosovo, considered one of the most notable events of Serbian history. Afterwards, it was a part of the Serbian Despotate. Modern Serbian historiography considers Kosovo in this period to be the political, religious and cultural core of the medieval Serbian state. The Medieval Monuments in Kosovo, founded by the Nemanjić dynasty, is a combined World Heritage Site consisting of four Serbian Orthodox Christian churches and monasteries. In the Ottoman period, the situation of the Serbian population in Kosovo went through different phases. In the 16th century, the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć was re-established and its status strengthened.
