==History== Dovolan (Dovoljani) appears in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a settlement with a total of five households. The anthroponymy attested depicts a mixed character with typical Albanian names appearing alongside more general Christian ones, although Slavic influences and Slavicisation are also present: Gjon Bazovići; Gjure, son of Andrija; Dimitri Koleci; Petka son of Popi; and Gjure, brother of Gjoni.
