[1] The Rožaje municipality is located in the mountainous, northeastern region of Montenegro, as it's spread on the banks of the Ibar river, and contains its source.

There are several mountains surrounding the municipality, which are named Beleg, Sijenova, Ahmica, Turjak, Vlahovi, Krsača, Žljeb, and above all of them rises the 2,403 m high Hajla.

The IB-22 Highway (otherwise known as the Ibarska magistrala) is the main regional road that connects Montenegro with Serbia.

The municipal parliament consists of 34 deputies elected directly for a four-year term.

Albeit small, there is a minority of Serbs, mostly located in the village of Bijela Crkva, as well as in the town.
