Raduloc, recorded in the volume as Kodërbardhi (Radullofci), lies about 3.5 km northwest of Klina. It is a compact hilly settlement. Building stones, door thresholds and millstones found in the area point to earlier habitation.
The settlement is mentioned in the Deçan Monastery charter of 1330. An Ottoman register of the Sanjak of Shkodra from 1485 records 5 households, while later records also use the form Radolefc. Church documents from the 18th and 19th centuries record the continuity of the Albanian Catholic community in the area.
In 1919, the entire village was burned except for one tower that survived. Montenegrin families were also settled here during the 1930s. In later decades, some families emigrated toward Vukovar, Rijeka and the United States.
