Not being administratively defined, the boundaries of the regions are in many cases vague, they overlap or are variously defined by different geographers and publications, not also in the sense of regions extension, but also whether they are separate geographical entities or parts of other super-regions, etc.
For the most part, regions correspond to the valleys or the watershed areas of rivers and were simply named after them (some even a millennium ago) while boundaries are often mountain ridges and peaks. In some cases, it may refer only to the inhabited parts of the valleys (see župa

Since the NATO bombing of 1999 and Albanian declaration of independence in February 2008, regions in Kosovo are part of the disputed area.
