History

According to Vasil Kanchov (" Macedonia. Ethnography and Statistics "), 230 Muslim Albanians live in Vojnik.^[2]

During the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian military authorities conducted a census in 1916–1918 in the occupied parts of Albania and Vojnik was registered as a village with 263 Albanians and 16 Gypsies, a total of 279 Muslims. Linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli consider the census results to be accurate.^[3]

Until 2015, the village was part of the municipality of Maqellarë.^{[citation needed]}
