Geography

Mokra Gora (pronounced [môkraː ɡǒra]; Serbian Cyrillic: Мокра гора, meaning Wet Mountain, Albanian: Mokna/Mokragorë) is a mountain in western Kosovo[a], eastern Montenegro, and south-western Serbia. It is part of the Prokletije mountain range. It has two peaks higher than 2,000 m (6,562 ft). The highest is Pogled at 2,156 m (7,073 ft), and the other is Beleg at 2,102 m (6,896 ft). The Beleg peak is shared between Kosovo and Montenegro, while Pogled is on the tripoint. In Kosovo, the town of Istok lies just south of the mountain on the Metohija plain, which borders the mountain to the south.

Since arrival of international forces in 1999, illegal timber logging expanded multiple times, so vast areas are now completely devastated by logging.
