Lipjan, the old place of Ulpiana

Lipjan or Lipjan (Albanian: Lipjan or Lipjani; Serbian: Липљан, Lipjan) is a city and municipality in the Pristina district of central Kosovo.

In Roman times the city was known as Ulpiana from which the name Lipjan is derived. Ulpiana was named by the Romans in honor of the Roman Emperor Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus. The neo-Latin form Lypenion for the city occurs for the first time in a Greek text from 1018 AD.
It is thought^{[weasel words]} to be the birthplace of Lekë Dukagjini (1410–1481), who replaced Skanderbeg as leader of the Albanian resistance against the Ottomans following the latter's death in 1468. During the reign of Lekë Dukagjini as Prince of Dukagjini Ulpiana was his second capital city.^[1]

 The municipality is predominantly agriculture-oriented. After the 1999 conflict, most of the businesses are no longer operational. Many shops and restaurants have opened in the town, but approximately 80% of the population remains unemployed
