The County of Diber is one of the 12 counties of Albania. It consists of the districts Bulqizë, Diber, and Mat and its capital is Peshkopi.
Dibër is known for its resistance against the Turks. Today’s Dibër is divided by the Albanian-Macedonian border. This division is a result of a claim by the former Yugoslavia on what is now the Macedonian half of Dibër in a 1913 international conference in London, where a great deal of land considered by Albanians to be theirs was defined as outside the borders of Albania. |
