It is crossed by the road along the course of the Bistrica River towards Shtërpca/Štrpce. The inhabitants of this area belong mainly to the Bosniak community and to a lesser extent to the Goran community. The village of Reçan/Rečane, crossed by the road, is one of the most important in the valley (nearly 1,000 inhabitants, 99% Bosniaks).
