Municipal unit in Kukës, Albania From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bujan is a village and a former municipality in the Kukës County, northern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became a subdivision of the municipality Tropojë.[1] The population at the 2011 census was 2,550.[2] It is part of the Highlands of Gjakova, an ethnographic region of Albanian and Kosovo, and is known for hosting the 1943 Bujan Conference.
Bujan is part of Krasniqe tribal territory.
According to Eqrem Çabej, the etymology of the village derives from a term referring to a "pond with a lot of water", but due to the location of the village, the etymology may have to do with the Albanian term bujë.[3]
