The municipality of Suva Reka (in Serbian, "Dry River" / Suhareka / Suharekë (80,460 inhabitants; 341 sq. km) is located in southern Kosovo, 50 km north of Prizren. The Albanian Kosovars also call the town Teranda / Terandë, after the name of an ancient Illyrian fortified town (some consider Prizren as Theranda); this name was not recognized by the UNMIK administration, however.

The municipal website shows a photo of the Mayor standing in front of the flags
of Kosovo, Dardania (probably because the Mayor belongs to LDK) and
Suva Reka, which appers to be blue with the municipal coat of arms in
the middle.
The coat of arms of Suva Reka, shown on the upper left corner of the
page, is a blue shield, outlined in yellow, containing a yellow sun
with 48 rays charged with a leaf with five lobes, horizontally divided
red-black. On the flag, there seems to be something added to the
border of the shield (look just above the Mayor's left shoulder).
The municipal statutes, adopted on 11 November 2008, say:
