Mekiš (Albanian: Mekishi) had 30 houses inhabited by Serbians and 1 house inhabited by Albanians before the Expulsion of the Albanians took place in 1877–1878.[2] All Albanians left the Doljevac 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.
