Morinë is a settlement in eastern Albania, on the border with Kosovo[a]. The Kosovo side of the border is Vërmica. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Kukës.[1]

Morinë is an important stop on the highway that connects the Kosovan capital of Pristina to Albania and thus to the Adriatic Sea.[2]

Notes and references

Notes:

a. ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has received recognition as an independent state from 110 out of 193 United Nations member states.
