Dollna Goricë (Template:Lang-sq, 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]

History

A survey in the late 19th century found Dolna Gorica to consist of 75 houses and 67 male Bulgarian Orthodox residents.[6] 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.[7]

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.[8] In 2013, the village's official name was changed from "Goricë e Vogël" to "Dolna Gorica".[9]

Demographics

A 2007 estimate put the village's population at 550.[10]
