Katip Sinan Qelebi Mosque
The Mosque Katip Sinan Qelebi (Albanian: Xhamia e Çatip Sinanit), also known as "Katip Çelebi" (Turkish: Sinan Katip Camii),[1] is located on the Adem Jaschari Street in Prizren, Kosovo.[lower-alpha 1] Katip means "secretary" in Turkish. It may be named after Katip Çelebi[2] but it also may be named like the Plaošnik mosque in Ohrid,[3] which was named after Sinaneddin Yusuf Çelebi, short form Sinan Çelebi, from the Ohrizâde family.[4]

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.
