Talk:Ljuboten

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shouldn't this article be about a village where alleged war crimes occured during the Albanian uprising in Macedonia? At least according to the ICTFY. Rmhermen 15:18, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

I agree. But then wouldn't someone have to make a page about the alleged purpotrators, Johan Tarculovski and Ljube Boskovski ... so little is known about their background, not to mention that they are innocent and being tried at an illegal institution. I think that Johan has been freed though ... --****

[edit] Ljuboten's location

Please write true information about this mountain peak. Someone wrote: "Mount Ljuboten is located in the south part of Kosovo, near the border with Macedonia." Since Kosovo is integral part of Serbia and Montenegro, it is more accepted to be: "... located at the border between Republic of Macedonia and Serbia and Montenegro (in the part with Kosovo).". I think that everybody can agreed with that. --DeeJay 11:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

It seems to be some sort of folk etymology; "the beautiful mountain" would be "la belle montagne" in French. This theory has been added before (you can look through the history), with different versions of the "French" each time. It seems more likely that it gets its name from a Macedonian, Serbian or Albanian word anyway, but I don't know about that. BalkanFever 07:18, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
