Its neighbours are Albania in the West, Macedonia in the south, Montenegro in the northwest and Serbia in the north.

A river runs through it in two directions: Kosovo is home to the only example in Europe of a prosperous river called Nerodima, which flows into the Aegean and the Black Sea.

But this river flows from Mount Nerodima, which provides the source of the river.
