Binačka Morava (Macedonian and Serbian Cyrillic: Биначка Морава; Albanian: Morava e Binçës or Mirusha) is a river which flows in southeastern Kosovo[a] and North Macedonia. It flows generally in the southwest to northeast direction, from Macedonian border to Bujanovac, where, after 49 km, meets Preševska Moravica, to create South Morava.[1]

The river begins in the mountain of Skopska Crna Gora, in North Macedonia, north of its capital Skopje. Streams of Ključevska reka and Slatinska reka join together to form the river Golema, which is, after passing the Macedonian-Serbian border, known as Binačka Morava.[1]

Annotations

  1. ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as an independent state by 100 UN member states (with another 13 states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition) and 93 states not recognizing it, while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
