Vranjina

Vranjina (Montenegrin: Врањина) is a settlement, island, and a hill in Lake Skadar, in the new Zeta Municipality of Montenegro.

[1] Until the first half of the 18th century, Vranjina like other islands of Skadar lake, was one of the hills in the Zeta–Skadar lowlands.

[2] Created by a delta of the Morača River, the island is in the northern part of the lake.

[3] Vranjina town, on the shores of the Skadar lake, is called the Montenegrin Venice because of its natural setting.

Notable local landmarks include the so-called "house of Oso Kuka", named after an Ottoman border guard of Albanian descent who died on the island in a fight against Montenegrin forces in 1862.
