Municipality in Dibër, Albania
Dibër Municipality is located on the bank of Black Drin in northeastern Albania adjacent to the border with North Macedonia. The Korab Mountain is the highest mountain in Albania and forms alongside the Deshat Mountain the eastern of border of Dibër Municipality. Lurë-Dejë National Park sprawls in the remote mountainous west of the area with Korab-Koritnik Nature Park extending in the east.
Demography
Despite the municipality's proximity to North Macedonia, Dibër's ethnic make-up is relatively homogeneous, but there is a small Macedonian minority living in the villages around Maqellarë. Unlike the Macedonians who live around Lake Prespa, they have no linguistic rights and no autonomous subdivisions. Almost 90 percent of Dibër'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 Maqellarë is a recognised cultural monument. Like all the rural municipalities of Albania, Dibër is heavily effected by emigration.
