Guri i Kuq Lake

Guri i Kuq Lake (Albanian: Liqeni i Gurit të Kuq; Serbian: Језеро Жути камен, Jezero Žuti kamen, literally: "Yellow Stone Lake") is a lake in Kosovo, located on the Žuti kamen mountain, in the Prokletije range. It is one of the largest lakes in the Kosovan part of the range after Đeravica Lake and Liqenat Lake. Unlike Liqenat Lake, the Žuti kamen lake is not surrounded by trees but instead by large meadows. Just north of the lake is the Rugova Canyon.

Notes and references

Notes:

  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 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognized as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 15 later withdrew their recognition.
