Whoever is editing this page: there is no Macedonian community in Pogradec, and the town itself has never been Macedonian. Some editing here has been onesided, outright calling the Albanian view as propaganda created in WWII. The Macedonian version of the name is not appropriate to be placed on here because it serves no specific link.--PG-Rated 17:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm not too sure about this. What records? "The demographic distribution records a typical indigenous mixture, mostly of Albanians and ethnic Slavs (from whom the name Pogradec is derived), often claimed by the Macedonian government." - --PG-Rated 14:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a virtual battleground for Balkan disputes. I removed the Macedonian name "Подградец" from the article. Despite Pogradec is close to Macedonia and might naturally have some links with the latter, that does not justify the Macedonian version of the town to be kept in the article. Anyone interested in learning the Macedonian name just needs to click for the Macedonian article about this town.--Húsönd 17:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank You!--PG-Rated 05:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you're forgetting that the very origin of the town's name is Macedonian. --AimLook 14:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
