Pesočani (Macedonian: Песочани, Albanian: Pesoçan) is a village in the municipality of Debarca, North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Belčišta.

History[]

Pesočani during the Ottoman period was a village inhabited by Muslim Albanians until the onset of the Balkan Wars (1912-1913).[1] In 1918 Pesočani was razed and Albanians fled to nearby villages such as Radolišta where the families of descendants are known by the village name of Pesoçan.[2] Between 1912 and 1918 the village was destroyed and thereafter two new settlements were founded in its place: Novo Selo and Novo Aleksandrovo (both today became modern Pesočani).[1] Pesočani was resettled with a Macedonian population.[1]

Demographics[]
