Cyrillic : Кереш) is a river in southernHungary and northernSerbia , a 70 km long right tributary to theTisa river. It flows entirely within theBačka region of both Hungary and Serbia (Vojvodina ): 27 km in Hungary, 15 km as a border river and 27 km in Serbia.Hungary
The Körös-ér springs in the Hungarian part of the
Subotička peščara , between the towns ofJánoshalma andKiskunhalas . It flows to the southeast, more as a series of connected bogs and less as a real river, without almost any settlements on its banks. West of the village ofKelebia , the Körös-ér becomes a border river between Hungary and Serbia.Serbia
The Kereš flows on the northern border of the city of
Subotica proper, close to its suburbs (most notably,Šupljak ) and theLudoš lake . After the villages ofMale Pijace and Velebit, it turns east north of the village ofSenćanski Trešnjevac and empties into theTisa atAdorjan , at an altitude of 76 m. Near the village of Velebit, Kereš flows through the marshy area ofKapetanski Rit .For some time the municipal government of
Kanjiža (to which the mouth of the river belongs) protests about the extreme pollution of the Kereš's water, as it represents the single largest polluter of the Tisa river. Local politicians point at the city government of Subotica, which dumps its waste into the river, as the major culprit for such a bad condition of the river.The Kereš is neither channeled nor navigable.
