By the way, close to Athens exists Albanian village Harvati, also in
Prespa lake exists also Harvati. No one knows how they are founded.
****GK: Perhaps they were founded by migrants "from Croatia", either Albanian, or subsequently Albanized. There are a couple of areas in Ukraine called "Pechenihy" (et sim.) The favourite theory is that they might have been originally settled by Pechenegs (there are records of such settlements, in general, in the chronicles, dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries). No Pechenegs live there today.****
