Remote Vermica Lake lake bordering Kosovo and Albania reportedly is scene for much cross border smuggling.

Kosovo has a serious smuggling problem. According to United States Department of State, Country Reports on Terrorism 2008 - Kosovo:

Porous boundaries that were easily crossed by individuals trafficking in persons, weapons, and narcotics hampered Kosovo's counterterrorism efforts.
