Geography
editDibรซr Municipality is located on the bank of Black Drin in northeastern Albania adjacent to the border with North Macedonia.[6] The Korab Mountain is the highest mountain in Albania and forms alongside the Deshat Mountain the eastern of border of Dibรซr Municipality.[6] Lurรซ-Dejรซ National Park sprawls in the remote mountainous west of the area with Korab-Koritnik Nature Park extending in the east.[6]
Demography
editDespite the municipality's proximity to North Macedonia, Dibรซr's ethnic make-up is relatively homogeneous, but there is a small Macedonian minority living in the villages around Maqellarรซ. Unlike the Macedonians who live around Lake Prespa, they have no linguistic rights and no autonomous subdivisions. Almost 90 percent of Dibรซr's population are Muslim, while the Macedonian minority is Orthodox. The Khalwati order has a khanqah in the village of Herbel, while Allajbegi's Mosque in Maqellarรซ is a recognised cultural monument. Like all the rural municipalities of Albania, Dibรซr is heavily effected by emigration.[citation needed]
