Kruševo Municipality (Macedonian: Крушево [ˈkruʃɛvɔ] ⓘ; Albanian: Krushevë) is a municipality in the central region of North Macedonia. Kruševo is also the name of the town where the municipal seat is found. This municipality is part of the Pelagonia Statistical Region.
Geography
The municipality borders Plasnica Municipality to the northwest, Makedonski Brod Municipality to the north, Dolneni Municipality and Krivogaštani Municipality to the east, Mogila Municipality to the south, and Demir Hisar Municipality and Kičevo Municipality to the west.
Demographics
Besides Macedonians, the municipality of Kruševo also contains a Muslim Albanian population living in the region.[1] In the modern era relations between Kruševo Aromanians and Muslim Albanians remain cordial, as do relations of Kruševo's Christian inhabitants with Muslim villagers of the municipality when they arrive into town to conduct business on market day and attend to administrative tasks.[1] In 1996 the creation of Žitoše municipality (now part of Dolneni Municipality) reduced some of Kruševo Municipality's religious and linguistic diversity as the new municipal unit included a sizable number of Muslim Albanians.[1]
According to the last national census from 2021, this municipality has 8,385 inhabitants.[2] Ethnic groups in the municipality include:

"In the contemporary setting, reportedly, relations between Vlahs and Albanians remained cordial in the Kruševo region. So, more generally, do those between Kruševo's Christian population and the Muslim villagers in the municipality who come to town to deal with administrative tasks and buy and sell on market days."; p. 275. "The 1994 census was conducted under international supervision, and was followed in 1996 by the reorganization of administrative boundaries, which created an effect of reducing the Kruševo's religious and linguistic diversity, as the majority of those included in the new municipality of Žitoše were Muslim Albanians."
