This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file "Mediterranean Relief.svg" – then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

This map image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. For more information, see {{BadJPEG}}.

Joy (343433 bytes) (an update after 22 years :) added borders and names for the ex-yu republics (si,hr,ba,cs,mk); corrected names for de,sk; dropped su name but didn't bother drawing the md/uk/ru borders or names because they're not near the topic at hand, and it's tiresome)
