The Llap Region (Albanian: Krahina e Llapit, lit. 'Region of Llap'; Serbian: Лабско поље, romanized: Labsko polje, lit. 'Plain of Lab') is a region located in the north-eastern part of Kosovo.^[1] Llap in the broadest sense includes the watershed of the Llapi River. The Llapi water collection begins in the mountains of Kopaonik in the north and west and its source is considered to be the village of Pollatë, and ends by joining the Sitnica river in Lumadh, municipality of Vushtrri, in the north-west of Pristina.^[2] The topographic watershed of the Llapi River covers an area of 945.4 km² (365.0 sq mi).

This area approximately corresponds to the administrative territory of the municipality of Podujevë in the current division of Kosovo. Podujevë as a city in the Llap region is the most important economic, political, administrative, educational, cultural and health center. About 120 villages gravitate to this region, although some of them administratively belong to the municipalities of Pristina, Vushtrri or Mitrovica. The municipality of Podujevë includes 78 villages.
