Đeravica or Gjeravica (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђеравица; Albanian: Gjeravica) is the second highest mountain peak in the Prokletije mountain range and the Dinaric Alps chain, after Maja Jezercë. It is the highest mountain in Kosovo[lower-alpha 1], and the highest mountain of Serbia, according to the view held by the government of Serbia that Kosovo is part of Serbia. It has an elevation of 2,656 m (8,714 ft) above sea level.[1][2][3][4] Đeravica is located in the western part of Kosovo, in the municipality of Deçan.[6] Before 20th century, Đeravica used to call Kaluđerovica (Kaluđer on Serbian means monk).

National importance

Đeravica is the highest mountain of Kosovo.[1] Between 1992 and 2006, it was the highest mountain peak of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and then of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro.[2] Up until the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence, Đeravica was indisputably the highest mountain of Serbia. The Government of Serbia (supported by some other states) still considers Kosovo to be part of Serbia,[7] and according to this view, Đeravica is still the highest mountain of Serbia.[3][4]

Features

It is somewhat different from the rest of the Prokletije mountains because of the lack of a stony, limestone texture the mountains in Prokletije have.[citation needed] Many large and small glacial lakes can be found near the summit. The largest of the lakes is Đeravica Lake which is just under the summit and is the origin of the Erenik river.

Đeravica and the Prokletije are mostly known for the growth of Chestnuts.[citation needed] There are also wild strawberries growing in Đeravica during the summer.[citation needed]

Notes and references

Notes:

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by 108 out of 193 United Nations member states.
