Culture
Brrut has two mosques which were built early and renovated in recent years. Brrut has several archaeological sites of importance for cultural heritage, including the ruins of an Albanian Orthodox castle and church, old cemeteries, burial grounds, etc. Brrut has traditional music, dance, horse racing and some pagan festivals like Summer on March 14, where a fire is lit for this holiday and traditional Flija food, the feast of harvest and St. George, Jeremiah St. Collie, Shiribudi etc. In addition to this Brruti also has some traditional accessories (Loom, crochet, boshti, furka), for making traditional clothes even though this is no longer practiced, there are still people who know how to do it. Also a resident possesses seeds of a characteristic plant which is used to work different clothes and oil paintings for painting. Another important point is the fact that the peasants of Brrut, as well as the surrounding villages, attach great importance to marriage, betrothal and circumcision fest.[2]

Notes
- The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as a sovereign state by 101 UN member states (with another 13 states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition) and 92 states not recognizing it, while Serbia continues to claim it as a part of its own territory.
