Dollna Goricë (Albanian: Dollna Gorica, Macedonian and Bulgarian:[1][2][3] 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[4] located in the Korçë County in Albania.[5] According to Bulgarian sources, including research by a Bulgarian scientist from Albania, the local inhabitants are Bulgarians.[6][7]
History
A survey in the late 19th century found Dolna Gorica to consist of 75 houses and 67 male Bulgarian Orthodox residents.[8] 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.[9]
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.[10] In 2013, the village's official name was changed from "Goricë e Vogël" to "Dolna Gorica".[11]
Demographics
A 2007 estimate put the village's population at 550.[12]

| 1926 | 511 (with Gorna Gorica) |

| 1969 | 210 |
| 1979 | 271 |

Culture
In 2002, a library opened in the village consisting of primarily Macedonian-language books.[14]
A monument commemorating the ethnic Macedonian refugees of the Greek Civil War was unveiled in the village in May, 2013.[15]
Dolna Gorica is home to the annual "Day of Wine" event, occurring each December.[16]
