Drinas is a village in the Dukagjin plateau. It is about 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) from the city of Gjakovë. If you travel by road from Gjakovë to Prizren, just after you cross "The Saint Bridge" (which is approximately half of the trip) you turn left, drive up a small hill and then a few kilometres further straight on.

During the Serb occupation, this village was named Ratkovac, pronounced as [ratko'vats]. Some Albanians from Dukagjin used to call this village with the Serb name in the past as well. The names they used were Ratkovac, Ratkovc, Ratkoc, Rakoc, etc. This had to do with the difficulty of remembering and pronouncing the Slavic name Pатковац.
