Gorno Vranovci (Macedonian: Горно Врановци, Albanian: Vranoc i Epërm) is a village in the municipality of Čaška, North Macedonia. The village has an Albanian school and a mosque.[1]

History

The village was traditionally inhabited by a Torbeš population.[2][3][4] Their ancestors were Mijaks who converted to Islam during the 16th century and migrated from the Mala Reka region in the Debar area at the end of the 17th until the 19th centuries to central Macedonia establishing villages such as Gorno Vranovci.[2][4] Gorno Vranovci was the location where the first Macedonian newspaper Nova Makedonija (New Macedonia) was initially published during 1944.[3] Between 1950-1960 the inhabitants of Gorno Vranovci immigrated to Turkey, in particular the city Izmir with a few other families going to Bursa, Ankara and Edirne.[2][3][5] Gorno Vranovci was repopulated with Albanians from the neighbouring villages of Gorno Jabolčište and Dolno Jabolčište alongside Albanians from Kosovo who were escaping oppression and violence.[2][3] Albanians from Gorno Vranovci have also migrated to Turkey, mainly to Istanbul.[5]
