Village in Mitrovicë, Kosovo

Kçiq i Madh (Serbian: Велики Кичић/Veliki Kičić, Albanian: Kçiq i Madh) is a village in the municipality of Mitrovicë municipality, Kosovo.

The name of the village derives from the Albanian word Kikë meaning sharp top of a mountain.[3] There are plenty of Albanian Micro-toponyms in Kçiq like Birat e Kishës, Murrizet, Prroni i Kocit, Udha e Shkemzës or Arat e Gata.[4]

The village was mentioned as part of the Sanjak of Viçitrina with 61 households.[5]

The village was settled in the 16-17th century by members of the Berisha tribe who fled from Shkodër most possibly due to blood feud.[6] During the Expulsion of the Albanians, 1877–1878, many refugees, called Muhaxhirs, settled. They were originally from Velika Plana or Tupallë.[7]

Kçiq i Madh is eight kilometers south of Mitrovica and is on the M-2 National Road. The Sitnica, main river in the Kosovo Field, flows through the south of the village.

In 2011, Kçiq i Madh had 3,412 inhabitants. Of these, 3408 are Albanians, one Bosniak and three undeclared.[8] Common surnames are Berisha, Pllana, Fejza, Brahimi, Tupella, Imeri etc.

KF Elektroliza Kçiq was a football club from Kçiq i Madh.[9] They played in the Second League in 2004 being their biggest success.[10]
