The Municipality of Diber

Diber

Dibra Municipality is located in the north-eastern part of the country and is bordered by Kukës Municipality to the north, Mirdita Municipality to the north-west, Mat Municipality to the west, Klos Municipality to the south-west, Bulqiza Municipality to the south and Republic of Macedonia to the east. Peshkopia town is the seat of this municipality. Based on the Civil Registration Office, this municipality counts 78.940 inhabitants. The new municipality extends over a surface area of 937.88 km2, and its population density is 84.16 inhabitant/km2. This municipality consists of 15 administrative units: Peshkopi, Tomin, Melan, Kastriot, Lura, Maqellara, Muhurr, Luzni, Selishta, Sllova, Kala e Dodës, Zall-Dardh, Zall-Reç, Fushë Çidhën and Arras. The newly established municipality administers a town and 141 villages. The terrain of this Municipality on the most part is hilly and mountainous, though there are also fields on both banks of river DriniiZi, which thus favours agricultural and orcharding development. During the last 25 years, Dibra has been characterised by internal migration to Tirana and Durrës, as well as by emigration at large. Dibra Municipality is one of the largest municipalities countrywide, with a series of villages located in remote areas. Dibra area is also the last largest regions of Albania, which still uses extensively the road infrastructure inherited from communism, without much improvement. “Rruga e Arbërti” Project, which has been under discussion over many years, is currently the only plan that may “release” the new municipality from isolation. In the recent years, Dibra area has benefitted from the construction of the road axis Peshkopi-Kukës, which has released the northern part of the region from isolation. Dibra area lost Dibra town from this region, following the border division in 1913, and the erected town of Peshkopia could not compensate the great loss. Cross-border relation strengthening could facilitate the reestablishment of a balance between village-town. The new municipality encompasses the nature reserves of Lura and Luzni Bulacit, as well as the tourist location of Mount Korab. However, the nature reserve of Lura has been deforestated as a result of illegal wood cutting and presently it is being discussed whether it should be kept in the list of protected areas.
