Lubinjë E Poshtme
Donje Ljubinje (Serbian Cyrillic: Доње Љубиње, Albanian: Lubinjë e Poshtme) is a village in Prizren Municipality, Kosovo. It is located in the historical region of Sredačka župa. According to the 2011 population census, the village had 1,227 inhabitants, with 1,178 (96%) being Bosniaks.
The village attracts media attention because of the centuries-old tradition of bride decoration among local Bosniak population. This tradition, once widespread in the area, is now only performed by one elder woman from Donje Ljubinje named Aziza Šefitagić.
