Demographics
The village of Nakolec has a Sunni Albanian majority and an Orthodox Macedonian minority. A small number of Albanian speaking Muslim Romani used to live in Nakolec which during the latter decades of the 20th century have migrated to Ohrid and Resen. In the late Ottoman period, a few Turks and some Bektashi Albanians, known locally as Kolonjarë, used to also reside in the village of Nakolec ({{langx|tr|Nakoleç}}).{{cite book|last=Włodzimierz|first=Pianka|title=Toponomastikata na Ohridsko-Prespanskiot bazen|year=1970|publisher=Institut za makedonski jazik "Krste Misirkov"|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7ELRAAAAMAAJ&q=%D0%93%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B0+%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%B0+%D0%9D%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D1%86+|pages=128}} "Горна Преспа...
