Paštrik (Serbian Cyrillic: Паштрик) or Pashtrik (Albanian: Pashtriku), is a mountain located in Kosovo[a] and Albania. Its highest peak is located on their mutual border, it is also called Paštrik and it is 1,986 m (6,516 ft) high. The White Drin river passes along by it.[1]
Overview
Pashtrik is located in the historical region of Has, which up until the 16th century was named after the mountain. In the 17th century the name Has gained a prominence. It is a reference to the taxation status of the region which was taxed directly under the Ottoman Sultan instead of being part of the administrative divisions of the Ottoman Empire.[2] Two-thirds of the mountain belongs to Albania. It is located in north-eastern Albania. The village of Krumë is positioned next to it. One-third of the mountain is in Kosovo. It is located in south-western Kosovo. The village of Gjonaj is positioned next to the mountain. It was built from Paleozoic core, covered by Mesozoic limestone, mostly under the vegetation.
Small mammals living in the mountain include the common vole, northern white-breasted hedgehog, balkan mole, and european mole.[3] The blind mole occurs in the grasslands in old growth stands of beech forest.
