Tromedja (mountain)

Tromedja (Albanian: Trekufiri; Montenegrin and Serbian: Тромеђа, Tromeđa) is a mountain in the Bogićevica area in the Prokletije range. Its peak which measures a height of 2,366 m (7,762 ft) above sea level forms a boundary between Albania, Kosovo[a] and Montenegro. Albania contains the south of the mountain which is the majority of it, Kosovo the north-east and Montenegro the north-west. There is a valley in the Albanian and Kosovan side of the mountain. The village of Debërdol in Albania is located quite close to the summit.

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 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by 108 out of 193 United Nations member states.
