The village is known by the same name in Serbian and Albanian: Зубин Поток/Zubin Potok (pronounced "zoubine potok"). It has 1,700 inhabitants and 15,000 with the rest of the municipality (92% Serbian and 8% Albanian). Zubin Potok is located 18 km southeast of the Serbian border, 21 km southwest of Mitrovica, 55 km southeast of Novi Pazar (Serbia) and 59 km northeast of Peja/Peć.Without charm, but enjoying a beautiful environment, this agricultural village owes its name to the stream(potok) Zubodolski that runs through it. However, it is mainly the Ibar, its other stream, that has shaped Zubin Potok. Nowadays, the river has carved a valley through the mountains of Mokra Gora, linking the town to Rascia, the historical heart of Serbia. Marked by the memory of Helen of Anjou (1237-1314), mother of King Milutin, the region has remained predominantly Serbian. Most of the big employers belong to groups based in Belgrade or Novi Pazar, the mail is managed by the Serbian post office and one pays in Serbian dinar (the euro is sometimes accepted). Of the sixty-three villages in the municipality, Çabër/Čabra concentrates almost the entire local Albanian minority (about 1,000 inhabitants): an Albanian enclave... within a Serbian enclave. Zubin Potok is well served by bus from North Mitrovica and Serbia. If the hotel offer is still rather rudimentary, the region lends itself to hiking and all sorts of nature activities.
