Bijelo Polje

The village of Bijelo Polje is located in the Zeta region (former part of the municipality of Podgorica, and today it is part of the independent municipality of Zeta). It is located in the Zeta plain, about 15-16 kilometers south of the center of Podgorica, not far from Skadar lake.   A few key details about the village: Geography and surroundings: It is located in a fertile plain, close to the Belgrade-Bar railway and the main road leading to the Adriatic Sea and Petrovac. Due to the proximity of Lake Skadar, the climate and soil are favorable for agriculture.   Economy and life: The population is traditionally engaged in agriculture (vegetable and fruit growing) and animal husbandry, while part of the locals work in Podgorica or nearby settlements. Local attractions: Nearby are the historical sites of Zeta and the shores of Lake Skadar, as well as the Skadar Basin, which is a nature reserve.   Note: This village is often confused with the much larger town of Bijelo Polje, which is located in the north of Montenegro, on the river Lim. Bijelo Polje in Zeta is much smaller, a rural settlement with a few hundred inhabitants.
