number of Christian people were made Turks, at that time the place
got its name Sultania. Moslemized Christian population hadn't

climbed upon Kocani mountain meadow and after 4 hours walking along
the ravine, we arrived in Carevo Selo. This is a Muslim village and
it lays in the of a mountain ornamented with 100 houses and one
marvelous mosque with minaret"
