In the Ethnography of the Adrianople, Monastir and Salonica villas, published in Constantinople in 1878 and reflecting the statistics of the 1873 male population, Nivitzi is referred to as a village in the kaza of Resen with 30 households and 92 Bulgarians.

[5] Another report, at the beginning of the 20th century, also stated that Nivitsi was a predominantly Bulgarian village.

[10] The Prespa Agreement took its name from homonymous lake, on the shores of which the village of Psarades was built.

[11] In fieldwork done by anthropologist Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Psarades was populated by Slavophones.

[11] The Macedonian language was spoken in the village by people over 30 in public and private settings.
