Inland from the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, where Kotor, the one seaport of the nation, is found, is the barren karst region of Montenegro proper, which lies in the southern end of the Dinaric Alps. Lake Scutari, the nation's largest lake, is at the southern end of the karst and forms part of the Albanian border. The karst region is separated by the Zeta River and its plain from the higher, largely mountainous regions of the rest of the western and southern sections of the country. The northeast, in Serbia, is part of the fertile Danubian plain and is traversed by the Danube and its tributaries : the Drava, the Sava, the Morava, the Timok, and the Tisza (Serbo-Croatian Tisa). In addition to the two republics of Serbia and Montenegro, there are two provinces in Serbia, Kosovo and Vojvodina. The chief cities of Serbia and Montenegro are Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis, Kragujevac, Pristina, Subotica, and Podgorica.
