Things to see and do Gjakova (Ðakovica)

This artificial lake (Liqeni i Radoniqit, Radonjićko jezero) is the second largest body of water in the country (5.62 km2) and supplies Gjakova/Đakovica and Rahovec/Orahovac with drinking water. The site was the scene of a massacre on September 9, 1998, when KLA militants killed 34-39 Serb, Roma and Albanian civilians in retaliation for Yugoslav artillery fire on nearby villages. As a result, the lake has been little developed since. But it is not uncommon for families to come and enjoy the coolness of the lake in the heat of summer.
