The objective of this paper is establishing eco-chemical characterization of the Skadar lake (i.e. Lake Scutari) system by investigation of heavy metal content and distribution in the lake sediments. Factors that influence heavy metal concentrations in sediments are allochthonous (natural and human effects) and autochthonous (natural processes of settling and sorption) as well as transformation of settled substances in sediments. Sediments samples were taken from 15 sites and analysed for copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb).
