Čokot (Albanian: Çokot) is a village situated in Niš municipality in Serbia.The famous actor Robert De Niro spent a few days in this village sometime in the 60s before he became a famous actor.[1]
Čokot (Albanian: Çokot) was inhabited by Albanians before the Expulsion of the Albanians took place in 1877–1878.[2] All Albanians left the Niš 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. These Albanians became known as Muxhahirs and were demographically Albanians of the Gheg dialect and Muslims.
