Skopos (Template:Lang-el; Bulgarian/Macedonian Slavic: Сетина, Setina) is a village in Florina regional unit, Greece.

History

There were fortified palaces of Bulgarian Tsar Samuel at the beginning of the 11th century, near the place where today's village is. In the autumn of 1017 the fortress was captured and burned down by the Byzantine Emperor Basil II. Soon afterwards, the Battle of Setina took place. In it the Bulgarian Tsar Ivan Vladislav opposes the Byzantines, but he was defeated.

In 1845 the Russian slavist Victor Grigorovich recorded Tsrevo as mainly Bulgarian village. In the book “Ethnographie des Vilayets d'Adrianople, de Monastir et de Salonique”, published in Constantinople in 1878, that reflects the statistics of the male population in 1873, Setigne was noted as a village with 50 households and 140 male Bulgarian inhabitants.

Demography

In 1905, Setina's population consisted of 816 Bulgarian Exarchists.

A 1993 study showed that Macedonian Slavic is spoken by members of the minority over the age of 60.
