Cerajë or Ceranja (Serbian: Церања) is a village in the municipality of Leposaviq, in northern Kosovo. It has a population of 150-300, all ethnic Albanians, and is one of three Albanian-inhabited villages in Leposaviq.[1] Another alternative name of the village is Kreshëbardhë.
During World War II, Ceraja along with the village of Sllatina (Vushtrri) would have a high Chetnik presence. In 1941, Albanian irregulars, mostly from the Tribe of Shala, would drive them out of the two villages.[2]
