What is "prokletije"

Prokletije ((; , , both translated as "cursed mountains") is a mountain range on the western Balkan peninsula, extending from northern Albania to Kosovo and eastern Montenegro. Its peak in Albania, Maja Jezercë at , is the highest point of the Dinaric Alps, and the 7th highest peak in Albania.

Both the highest peak in Montenegro, Zla Kolata at (which is also partially in Albania) and the highest in Kosovo, Gjeravica at , are here. The highest peak in Albania, however, is Mount Korab, part of the Korab range, at high and in the east of the country on the border with the Republic of Macedonia (making it Macedonia's highest point in addition).

The southernmost glaciers in Europe were recently discovered in the Albanian part of the range. The regional economy is based mainly on agriculture, immigrant remittances and tourism.
