The peak is known for its sharp pyramidal shape and the rocky ridge Treskavec on it western side. It inspires with its proper shape and awes with its sharp edges. It is sometimes dubbed as Tetovo Materhorn.
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. |
