Prokletije or the Albanian Alps (Albanian: Bjeshkët e Namuna or Alpet Shqiptare; Serbian: Проклетије, Prokletije, ) are a mountain range in the Balkans that extend from northern Albania to Kosovo and eastern Montenegro. Their highest point, Jezercë in Albania at 2,694 m (8,839 ft), is the tallest peak in the entire Dinaric Alps.
Both the highest peak in Montenegro, Zla Kolata at 2,534 m (8,314 ft) and the highest in Kosovo, Đeravica at 2,656 m (8,714 ft), are located here. The highest peak in Albania, however, is Mount Korab, which is 2,764 m (9,068 ft) high and is located in the east of the country on the border with the Republic of Macedonia (making it Macedonia's highest point in addition).
The southernmost glaciers in Europe were recently discovered in the Albanian part of the range. The regional economy is based mainly on agriculture, immigrant remittances and tourism.
