Pogradec (Macedonian: Поградец; Albanian: Pogradec or Pogradeci) is one of the southeastern cities of Albania. Pogradec was originally part of the larger geographical region of Macedonia until the Balkan Wars of 1913, when it became part of Albania. This, however, is disputed by Albanian nationalists who view not only Pogradec, but also the cities of Ohrid, Struga, and Bitola, as part of a greater Albania, created by Albanian propagandists in WWII. It is the capital of the District of Pogradec, in the County of Korçë, located at 40.87°N and 20.70°E with a population of around 24,000 (2004 est). It is by the famous Lake Ohrid. This city is surrounded by hills on the southern and western side. The lake is in the eastern and northern side of the city. The highway linking to Tirana, Elbasan and Korçë is passed through the city. It is located SE of Elbasan, SW of Ohrid in the Republic of Macedonia, WNW of Florina in Greece and N of Korçë.
