Diplomats from Greece considered Negovani secure and unaffected by Bulgarians and instead were concerned about Romanian propaganda in the village.
[6] Negovani, with its population of hellenised Albanians, participated extensively on the Greek side of the Macedonian Struggle in the late Ottoman period.
[3] Migrants from Negovani and Belkameni in Brăila founded a society (1904) named Djalëria (The Youth) and it was financed by Romanian Prince Albert Ghica.
[17][18] Following the Young Turk Revolution (1909), the Greek clergy's prominent position in places like Negovani was contested by Aromanian and Albanian nationalists.
On April 7, 1947, the Greek government under Dimitrios Maximos adopted a policy of forced relocation for certain villages that were strategic for the guerrillas.
As the village of Flambouro was already loyal and occupied by the Hellenic Army, still, many children were sent to communist countries such as Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR as refugees.
Other village natives fled with the aid of the Truman Doctrine to the United States in hope of finding employment to send money home to the rest of their families.
Individuals and families who emigrated from Flambouro mostly went to the United States, Canada, West Germany, and Australia in search of a new life.
[20] At present, the cities of Rochester (New York) and Adelaide (South Australia) have the largest concentration of immigrants and families that trace their roots from Flambouro.
[21] Flampouro has not been influenced by the nearby predominant Slavic musical tradition of the area, and villagers have no knowledge of songs from their neighbours.
