Presentation of Suhareka

The municipality of Suhareka ("Dry River"; (80,460 inhabitants; 341 sq. km) is located in southern Kosovo, 50 km north of Prizren. The Albanian Kosovars also call the town Teranda / Terandë, after the name of an ancient Illyrian fortified town (some consider Prizren as Theranda); this name was not recognized by the UNMIK administration, however.
