Vasojevići
The Vasojevići ( sh, Васојевићи, ) is a historical highland tribe (''pleme'') and region of Montenegro, in the area of the Brda. It is the largest of the historical tribes, occupying the area between Lijeva Rijeka in the South up to Bihor under Bijelo Polje in the North, Mateševo in the West to Plav in the East. Likely of Albanian origin, most of the tribe's history prior to the 16th century has naturally been passed on through oral history. Although the unofficial center is Andrijevica in north-eastern Montenegro, the tribe stems from Lijeva Rijeka in central Montenegro. The tribe was formed by various tribes that were united under the rule of the central Vasojević tribe. These tribes later migrated to the Komovi mountains and the area of Lim. The emigration continued into what is today Serbia and other parts of Montenegro. Though sense of tribal affiliation diminished in recent years, is not a thing of a past. Tribal association and organizations still exist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Negotin Valley
The Negotin Valley ( ro, Valea Negotinului; sr, Неготинска Крајина, Negotinska Krajina) is a region in northeastern Serbia. It is isolated and distanced from other parts of Central Serbia. The Negotin Valley has unusual climatic features and hydropotential and geomorphologic sites. The region is centered around the city of Negotin. However, the borders of the region are not firmly defined. To the east, it is delimited by the Danube and Timok rivers, and to the west, by the Veliki Greben and Deli Jovan mountains. However, there are no certain geographic features to the north or south. The southern border can be interpreted as the Jelašnička River, while the northern one extends to Reka. It is agreed that the region is made up of several main centers: Negotin, Brza Palanka and since World War I, Salaš and Brusnik. It can be considered as a part of the Timok Valley.
