Golesh

Golesh (pronounced [ɡǒleʃ]) is a mountain in central Kosovo, 1,019 m (3,343 ft) high, near the town of Kosovo Polje and Pristina International Airport Adem Jashari.

A branch of the Drenica River originates on the mountain. At the top, there is an FM/TV broadcasting centre.

The mountain contains the world's largest vein magnesite deposit, with total reserves of around five million tonnes; mining began in 1923. The Goleš mine was one of the largest magnesite mines in the country. It was shut down in early 2002.
