http://fmtyewtk.blogspot.com/2009/10/where-is-butovac.html #kosovo #osm #openstreetmap where is butovac? Why is it listed 3 times?

Please help!

We have three villages named Butovac around the Butovac mountain east of Prishtina,
does anyone know if this data is right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukovac

The name Bukovac is thought to be derived from the word for a tree - 'bukva' ('beech'). The legend says when first settlers settled where now village's center is, there was an old beech so they named the place Bukovac upon that tree. There are also villages named Bukovac in central Serbia and in former Yugoslav republics.
