Subotica

The Subotica region occupies a heartland position in the great plain and is surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, Alps and the mountains of the Balkan Peninsula. In fact, the city lies slightly to the north from the Bela Crkva-Stara Pazova-Sremska Mitrovica line designating 45o of the North Temperate Zone

Subotica is situated on the intersection of various geo-morphologic units. Telečka, a loess plateau on the south spans into the Subotica-Horgos sandy terrain northwards. The city is located centrally between the rivers Danube on the north and the Tisza on the east and represents the most distinctive urban settlement between the two rivers

The region's climate is typical for the great plain, with very hot summers and severe winters and small annual quantity of sediments. Northerly cold and westerly wet winds are the most frequent of the various winds that blow in the region, thus the vegetation is typical of a steppe, but it was replaced, in the course of times,with cultivated crops.
