History
According to Vasil Kanchov (" Macedonia. Ethnography and Statistics "), 230 Muslim Albanians live in Vojnik.[2]
During the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian military authorities conducted a census in 1916–1918 in the occupied parts of Albania and Vojnik was registered as a village with 263 Albanians and 16 Gypsies, a total of 279 Muslims. Linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli consider the census results to be accurate.[3]
Until 2015, the village was part of the municipality of Maqellarë.[citation needed]
