It is the largest lake in Kosovo.[1] Gazivoda Lake has an area of 11.9 km2 (4.6 sq mi), of which 9.2 km2 (3.6 sq mi) belong to Kosovo and 2.7 km2 (1.0 sq mi) belong to Central Serbia.

Notes:

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by 108 out of 193 United Nations member states.
