Streoc (mountain)

Strellc (Albanian: Strellc/Streoc/Malet e Strellcit; Serbian: Стреочка планина, Streočka planina) is a mountain in Western Kosovo[a], in the Prokletije range. To its right is the Metohija valley. At 2,377-metre-high (7,799 ft) peak, Streoc stands out very well and from the city of Peć there is a good view of the whole mountain. The village of Streoc found around the mountain is named after the mountain. From the town of Klina in the far east of the valley Streoc looks to be even higher than Đeravica, the highest mountain in Kosovo. The mountain located in Streoc is known to be highly rich in minerals and other valuable materials. The favourable position of Streoc, makes the village a place of great interest for foreign investors.[1]

Notes
a.   ^ 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.
