Etymology

The name of the village comes from the Slavic words "Debeli Deo" (Шаблон:Lang-sr) which translated into English mean "Thick Place" [1]

Geography

History

The inhabitants of the village belong to the same clan originating from the Berisha tribe and are separated into two branches; The Mahalla of Fejzalar with nine families, and the Mahalla of Qorroll with thirteen families.[1] During the 18th century, the ancestors of the village residents expelled all the Serb inhabitants from the village.[2]

The village became a stronghold of Balli Kombëtar during the Second World War and was the site of the Congress of Kopilaqa of Karadak Leaders such as Mulla Idriz Gjilani, Sulë Hotla, Jusuf Lipovica and others.[3]

During the Kosovo War, most of the village was burned down and property was looted and 4 Civilians from the village were killed by Serb Forces[4][5]

During the Conflict in Macedonia in 2001, the village became a stronghold of the NLA, from which many attacks on Macedonian forces were conducted.[6][7] Following an agreement between Serbia and Montenegro and Macedonia the village alongside Mjak were supposed to be given to Macedonia, the idea was given up after local residents from Dëbëlldeh and Mjak rose up to arms and threatened to start a new conflict, the locals were supported by ANA militants and former NLA commanders such as Xhezair Shaqiri[8]
