The mountain range of the Deva ( Όρος Ντέβας Óros Dévas ) stretches around the valley in a horseshoe shape and reaches its highest elevations at 1360 and 1373 m in the south and southwest to the neighboring communities of Agios Achillios and Vrondero .

history

From the end of the 19th century, Bulgarian, Greek and Serbian national movements competed for the successor to Ottoman rule in Macedonia . During the Bulgarian exarchate , services were held in Greek in what was then the village of Nivitsi , now Psarades, and lessons in Greek in the local school. Surveys on the particularly complex population structure of the region pursued the nationalist interest in making the respective population group appear particularly large. According to information from 1878 Nivitzi had 30 houses and was inhabited by 92 Bulgarians, in 1900 there were 400 Christian Bulgarians in Nivitza. The Bulgarian side considered all Slavic-speaking Macedonians to be Bulgarians.

For the 2nd congress of the NOF on March 25 and 26, 1949, 700 representatives gathered in the village church of Psarades. With the participation of the KKE party leader Nikolaos Zachariadis , a resolution proclaimed “... the unification of Macedonia with a united, independent and equal Macedonian nation within a people's democratic federation of the Balkan peoples”.

On June 17, 2018, Macedonia's Foreign Ministers Nikola Dimitrov and Greece's Nikos Kotzias signed a provisional agreement in the presence of Prime Ministers Zoran Zaev and Alexis Tsipras in Psarades, which should end the decades-long name dispute .

Administrative history

After it was founded as a rural community Nivitsa ( Κοινότητα Νιβίστης Kinótita Nivítsis ) in 1918 together with Vivani , the delimitation of the area changed several times. In 1927 it was renamed Psarades. On the occasion of the municipal reform in 1997 , the merger with twelve other rural municipalities took place to form the municipality of Prespes, which in turn was merged with Krystallopigi as part of the 2010 administrative reform to form the new municipality of Prespes , where Psarades has since had the status of a local community.
