In the western fringe of Macedonia, which is now part of Albania, Jovan Vladimir was remembered as a saintly ruler, cut down by his father-in-law, an emperor, who believed the slanderous accusation that he was a womanizer.
La marginea vestică a Macedoniei, care este acum parte a Albaniei, Ioan Vladimir a fost rememorat ca lider sfânt, tăiat de socrul său, un împărat, care a crezut niște calomnii, cum că el ar fi fost un afemeiat.
