History

Verniku during World War I
Vrabnik Petition for a Bulgarian School 1925

In 1873, then under the Ottoman Empire, the village was listed twice in a demographic survey, once as a Verlink, containing 86 households and 220 male Bulgarians, and again as Vrbnik, containing 70 households and 205 male Muslims.[3] According to another late 19th century estimate by Vasil Kanchov, the village had 600 Bulgarian Christians.[4]

In 1903, during the

Ilinden Uprising, all 80 of the village's houses were burnt down.[5] The population of the village was under the supremacy of the Bulgarian Exarchate since 1904.[6]

At the outbreak of the First Balkan War, Vernik sent six volunteers to join the Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps.[7]

During World War I, the village was part of Greece. In the 1913 and 1920 censuses, it had 489 and 366 residents, respectively.[8]

In 1925, the village elders sent a petition to the Prefecture of Korça asking for the opening of a Bulgarian school in the village.[9]

In 1939, on behalf of 70 Bulgarian houses in Vrbnik the revolutionary Nikola Pandovski signed a request by the local Bulgarians to the Bulgarian

Giovanna requesting her intervention for the protection of the Bulgarian people in Albania - at that time an Italian protectorate.[10]

Demographics

The Kostur dialect of the Macedonian (or Bulgarian) language is spoken in the village.[11]

Due to religion having an influence on identity Macedonians of Vërnik view Orthodox

Macedonian-speaking Muslims are not viewed as nash.[12]
