Pogoniani (Greek: Πωγωνιανή, pronounced [poɣoɲaˈni], before 1928: Βοστίνα, Vostina;[2] Albanian: Voshtinë[3]) is a village and a former community in the Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.

[7] During the 16th century a successful entrepreneur of Pogoniani's diaspora, Ioannis Giormas, built a commercial complex in Bucharest, which included a church and an inn.

[3] During the period prior to the First World War the British member of the International Commission that was responsible of the delineation of the Greek-Albanian border noticed that the villages that were ceded to Albania, which consist of the northern portion of Pogoniani are entirely Greek-speaking.

[13] From 1991 to 2012 a vocational training center was operating in the village attended by members of the Greek minority in Albania, with a total of 2,280 graduates.

[16][15] Due to its location very close to Albania, employment opportunities and local networks, Pogoniani received large immigration inflow.
