Ugao is one of three Albanian villages (Boroštica, Doliće and Ugao) in the Pešter region. These villages were founded by the Kelmendi fis (tribe). After 1912, inhabitants of these villages were forced to add the suffix -ić to their surnames under the new Serbian/Yugoslav state administration.^[3] Factors such as some intermarriage undertaken by two generations with the surrounding Bosniak population along with the difficult circumstances of the Yugoslav wars (1990s) made local Albanians opt to refer to themselves in censuses as Bosniaks. Elders in the village still have a degree of fluency in the language.^[4]
