Dobër

Dobër (also known as Dobre) is a settlement in the former Qendër municipality, Shkodër County, northern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Malësi e Madhe. It has a population of 693.

Etymology

Dober is thought to come from the Slavic term 'Dobre' meaning 'good' or 'OK'. the origins of how the village came to attain such a name is unknown but speculation ranges from receiving a complement from the Montenegrin neighbors to a comment on the quality of the good fertile soil to the found in the village.

Economy

The local economy relies mainly on agriculture with approximately four small shops within the village. The agricultural economy relies on small subsistence farming which is used to both generate small incomes as well as for the provision of food stuffs for the grower and the family. Labour prices per day are around 1000 lek per day per laborer. There are also two to five minivans that operate from Dober itself, however these are privately owned and operated mostly in the route from Koplik to Shkodër so use of this transport is dependent on walking a short distance to the main highway linking the village to other population centres. Local residents has also made use of fishing due to the proximity of the lake, however due to depleting fish stocks from the illegal usage of electricity in fishing methods, fishing is now economically untenable.
