Podujeva (Albanian: Besiana) is a town in north-eastern Kosovo. The name of the town Besiana derives from the word "besa", as in Albanian Besa, and "ana" meaning region. Historically, people from region are know to resist foreign occupiers, and are known to keep their word, hence Besiana. The founding member of the Kosovo Liberation Army, Zahir Pajazit, was from Besiana region, so was Bec Sinani, the great fighter agaist Serb occupiers during the 1920s.
