Dollna Goricë ( Albanian: Dollna Gorica, Macedonian : Долна Горица), formerly Goricë e Vogël, is a village on the western shore of Lake Prespa in the Pustec Municipality which is officially recognised as a Macedonian minority zone [1] located in the Korçë County in Albania. [2]
A survey in the late 19th century found Dolna Gorica to consist of 75 houses and 67 male Bulgarian Orthodox residents. [3][ better source needed] In 1900, Vasil Kanchov gathered and compiled statistics on demographics in the area and reported that the village of Dolna Goritsa was inhabited by about 42 Bulgarian Christians. [4]
In February 1996, the village hosted a conference attended by officials from the Republic of Macedonia on the subject of the ethnic Macedonian minority in Albania. [5] In 2013, the village's official name was changed from "Goricë e Vogël" to "Dolna Gorica". [6]
A 2007 estimate put the village's population at 550. [7] According to Bulgarian sources, including research by a Bulgarian scientist from Albania, the local inhabitants are Bulgarians. [8] [9]
