Mileševka
river in Serbia
The Mileševka (Serbian Cyrillic: Милешевка), or Mileševska River (Serbian: Милешевска река / Mileševska reka, "Mileševa River"), is a river in southwestern Serbia and a major tributary of the Lim. It is part of the Danube catchment basin.
Course
The Mileševka rises on the northern slopes of Mount Jadovnik in Zlatar range below Karaula Pass (1305 m). The river flows west-northwest and passes through the villages of Milošev Do and Kaćevo. It then turns slightly oblique northwards, up past the village of Hisardžik, the Mileševa Fortress and the Mileševa Monastery. It then resumes its course westward. It empties into the Lim at the city of Prijepolje. Its total length is about twenty kilometres.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Mileševka”, the useful work is to connect “river in Serbia” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3314106. Authority coordinates are 43.392, 19.647. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
