Međurječje is an exclave of Bosnia and Herzegovina and located as an enclave just west of the Serbian town of Priboj in the region of Zlatibor. All infrastructure and systems (electricity, telecom, education, medical care etc.) in the enclave are tied to the Serbian municipality, but the citizens were paying land tax to the Bosnian municipality of Rudo. This also includes Serbian citizens when it comes to business buildings. The distance of the exclave to the mainland is about 1130 metres.

The enclave of Međurječje is a part of the Medjurecja village of the municipality of Rudo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the area of 395 ha, 83 acres and 57 m² – about twice the size of Monaco. (The area represents 1990 metres²) .  It is situated about 400-500 metres above sea level.  

The population was 270 persons (1999) and including 75 households. More than 70% of the citizens living in the exclave are Serbian citizens. 135 persons with 25 households were Bosnian Muslims. ¹⁾

The Bosnia Hercegovian border station in Ustibar is located at the road junction in the middle of the village, while the Serbian border station is located about 1,7 km by road (780 metres by air) before the border to the Bosnian exclave of Sastavci. Foreign cars were in June 2011 not permitted at this Serbian border station to enter Serbia territory from Bosnian side. ²⁾
