Skadarska Krajina (Cyrillic: Скадарска Крајина, lit. "Skadar Frontier"), simply known as Krajina (Cyrillic: Крајина, pronounced [krâjina]; Albanian: Kraja) is a geographical region[1] in southeastern Montenegro stretching from the southern coast of Lake Skadar to the mountain of Rumija, comprising several villages. It is inhabited almost entirely by Albanians. The area is divided between the municipalities of Bar and Ulcinj.
Based on the last parts of the Priest of Duklja, Krajina was a political centre of Duklja.[2] Jovan Vladimir, the ruler of Duklja (ca. 1000–1016), was interred in the Prečista Krajinska church by his widow Kosara, who was also buried in the church.[3] The oldest published Albanian book, Meshari ("the Missal"), was written by Albanian Catholic priest Gjon Buzuku who was born in the village of Livari.
