The municipality of Bijelo Polje (lit., "the White Field"; 57,124 inhabitants in 2003; 15,883 inhabitants in the town of Bijelo Polje proper; 924 sq. km) is located in the valley of the Lim. The pleasant valley of the river Lim, with its tributary rivers
Bistrica, Ljubovidja and Ljesnica, has always been attractive for
people to settle and live in it. The traces of life in Illyrian,
Greek and Roman period can be noticed there, up to the modern times.
Thanks to the railway Belgrade-Bar
and to a developed road network, Bijelo Polje has a very favourable
geographic position. Among cultural and historical monuments, the
church of St Petar is of a special importance. The famous Miroslav`s
gospel, written for its needs in the XIIth century, is one of the
most famous Cyrillic written works. In the vicinity of Bijelo Polje,
there is the mineral water processing factory Bijela Rada and
the wool processing factory Bijelo Polje.
