Topic: Black Drin


  
  Macedonia - LoveToKnow 1911
West of the Vardar is the lofty Shar chain (Scardus) overlooking the plain of Tetovo and terminating at its eastern extremity in the pyramidal Liubotrn (according to some authorities, 10,007 ft., and consequently the highest mountain in the Peninsula; according to others 8989, 8856, or 8200 ft.).
The series of heights is broken by the valleys of the Black Drin and Devol, which flow to the Adriatic.
Between the Vardar and the plain of Monastir the Nija range culminates in Kaimakchalan (8255 ft.); south-west of Monastir is Mt Peristeri (77 20 ft.) overlooking Lake Prespa on the east; on the west is the Galinitza range separating it from Lake Ochrida.

An extensive portion of the basin of the White Drin River (Drini i Bardhë), called Beli Drim by Serbs, basin is in the Kosovo area, across Albania's northeastern border.
With the exception of the Black Drin River, which flows northward and drains nearly the entire eastern border region before it turns westward to the sea, most of the rivers in northern and central Albania flow fairly directly westward to the sea.
Fed by melting snows from the northern and eastern mountains and by the more evenly distributed seasonal precipitation of that area, its flow does not have the extreme variations characteristic of nearly all other rivers in the country.

For central Serbia and for Montenegro, the Drin valley is the only direct and indeed the shortest natural outlet to the Adriatic.
Our country is, therefore, most interested in regulating the Buna and Drin rivres, not only for navigation down the Buna, but also because 12,000 to 20,000 hectares of very fertile land could thereby be drained and an equal area could be ameliorated.
The maximum we set and asked for at that time was the border along the Mat and Black Drin rivers to ensure the strategic security of Montenegro and Kosovo.
