The Black Drim or Drin (Macedonian: Црн Дрим , Latinic: Crn Drim), meaning the black deer; Albanian: Drini i Zi is a river in the Republic of Macedonia and Albania. It flows out of Lake Ohrid in Struga, Macedonia. After approximately 50 kilometres it crosses the border to Albania, west of Debar. It merges with the White Drin in Kukës to form the Drin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. It drains most of the eastern border region of Albania, including the three eastern lakes that Albania shares with its neighboring countries (Lake Ohrid and the Prespa lakes), and the streams that flow into them.

The Crna (also Crna Reka, Macedonian:Црна Река (help·info) or Reka Crna) is river in the Republic of Macedonia. It runs though much of the south and west of the country.The name means "black river" in Macedonian, a translation of its earlier Thracian name, Erigon, meaning "black", akin to Greek érebos "darkness", Armenian erek "evening", Old Norse røkkr "darkness", Goth riqis "darkness", Skt rájas "night", Toch B orkamo "dark"

The Serb Pčinja in Cyrillic Пчиња and in Macedonian Пчинjа, is a river of Serbia and Macedonia. Its longor is of 128 km. It is a left affluent of the Vardar. Pčinja belongs to the basin of drainage of the Aegean Sea; its own basin of drainage covers a surface of 3.140 km ², including 1.247 km ² in Serbia and 1.893 km ² in Macedonia. The river is not navigable.



The Radika (Macedonian and Serbian Cyrillic:Радика (help·info); Albanian: Radikes) is a river in southern Kosovo and western Macedonia, a 70 km-long right tributary to the Black Drin river.Radika proper is 52 km long, but measured from the most distant source in its watershed, that of the Crni Kamen river, it is 70 km long.

Bregalnica (Macedonian:Брегалница (help·info)) is the second largest river in the Republic of Macedonia. It starts as a spring near the mountain city of Delčevo and it passes near the cities of Makedonska Kamenica, Kočani, Vinica and Štip, before joining the river Vardar on its way to the Aegean Sea. Recent issues have concentrated around the pollution of the river, as many of the factories located in the cities through which it passes used it as a dumping ground for waste waters, which is further aggravated with the pesticide-treated waters of the extensive rice fields near the city of Kočani.
