Kaçandoll (in Albanian) or Kačandol (in Serbian) is a village in the municipality of Mitrovica in the District of Mitrovica, Kosovo. According to the 2011 census, it had 119 inhabitants, all of whom were Albanian.[2]
Like Bajgora, located to the west of Kaçandol, it is in the south of the Kopaonik range and surrounded by steep mountains. Close to the village on its east side flows a tributary of the Llapi river. From Kaçandol the whole Llapi region can be seen.
The village was inhabited by ethnic Albanians, of the Shala tribe, which had settled here in the mid–18th century from the Shala region in northern Albania.
Albanian rebels (kachaks), active in 1918–24, were disarmed by the Yugoslav government, which included rebels from the village, at the time part of the Vushtrri srez (municipality).[3] [4]
Prior to 1978, it was also known as Kačan dol (Качан дол).[5] It was then spelled Kačandol.[6]
According to the 1991 census, the village had no inhabitants.
