Passing through the village of A\u0161ane near Pre\u0161evo, which is now majority Albanian and where my grandmother on my father&#8217;s side is from, we met a group of Albanian children who were standing by the road waiting for cars to pass, Nevena Pavlovi\u0107 begins her Easter story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DXFsNm6D4Dq\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Pre\u0161evo is a peaceful and specific town precisely because of its ethnic population structure, it is just sad that there are fewer and fewer Serbs, less than 5%.
