History
The "La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne" survey by Dimitar Mishev (D. Brankov) from 1905 shows that the inhabitants of the village of Glubochani were in the bosom of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.[3]
A survey by Georgi Trajchev in 1911 stated the village as having 33 houses and 319 residents.[4]
The French linguist André Mazon, in his study on Slavic folklore in Albania from 1936, noted Glomboč as a Bulgarian village in the region of Mala Prespa.[5]
During World War II, 24 of the village's 40 houses were burnt down.[6]
In 2013, the village's official name was changed back from Gollomboç to Glloboçeni.[7]

A 2007 estimate put the village's population at 300 to 350 people.[8] The village is composed of ethnic Macedonians,[9] which form part of the larger Macedonian minority in Albania.[10] According to Bulgarian sources, including a local one, the local inhabitants are Bulgarians.[11][12]
