History
[edit]LikeUgaoand other villages inPešter,Tuzinje is mainly inhabited by brotherhoods descended from theKelmendifis.TheKurtanovićidescend from thePljakići(Plakaj) ofUgao.[2]The village itself was founded by theCamovići(Camaj) another Kelmendi brotherhood fromTuzi Municipality(hence the nameTuzinje) The bulk of the Kelmendi arrived in Sandžak when they were expelled by their mountainous home region inMalësia e Madheby the Ottomans as a means to control them (late 17th/early 18th century). At the time of the foundation of several settlements they were Roman Catholics and later converted to Islam, hence in these villages like in Tuzinje, there usually is aLatinsko groblje(Latin cemetery) close to the proper Muslim cemetery used by the villages.
Almost all locals identify themselves asBosniaksand Muslims (2002 census).[3]
