Beličica

Beličica (Macedonian: Беличица, Albanian: Beliçicë) is a village in the municipality of Mavrovo and Rostuša, North Macedonia.

[5] In 1905 in statistics gathered by Dimitar Mishev Brancoff, Beličica was inhabited by 438 Albanians and had a Bulgarian school.

In a report titled "Through Southern Serbia : Under Šar and under Korab", the journalist writing about the village considers it as being populated by "Serbs who only speak Albanian".

However, Salihi notes that this identification is due to the fact that the local Albanians adhered to the Orthodox Christian church.
