Religious, Places of Worship, and Cultural Institutions
The predominant religion in Glogovac is Islam. Since the Kosovo Serb presence was always insignificant in numbers and not a traditional area of settlement, there are no Serb Orthodox churches in Glogovac. There are eight Mosques, the main one being in Glogovac town. All of these mosques function, except the one in Krajkovo, which was destroyed. Though there are a few Catholics in the municipality, there is no Catholic Church. The Islamic Community has an office in the town. There are no signs of political influence within the religious community. Besides the mosques there are other sites of great significance. These are the mass graves in the municipality. People pay regular visits to the specific burial grounds or places where massacres took place and they organize ceremonies to remember the lost members of their families who were killed during the conflict.
