Strellc (Albanian: Strellc/Streoc/Mali i Strellcit; Serbian: Стреочка планина, Streočka planina) is a mountain in Western Kosovo[a], in the Accursed Mountains range. To its right are the Plains of Dukagjin. At 2,377-metre-high (7,799 ft) peak, Streoc stands out very well and from the city of Peja there is a good view of the whole mountain. The village of Strellc found around the mountain is named after the mountain. From the town of Klina in the far east of the valley Strellc looks to be even higher than Gjeravica, the highest mountain in Kosovo. The mountain located in Strellc is known to be highly rich in minerals and other valuable materials. The favourable position of Strellc, makes the village a place of great interest for foreign investors.[1]

Notes

a.   ^ 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.
