Serbs of Vukovar
The Serbs of Vukovar or Vukovar Serbs are one of traditional ethnic communities living in the multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-confessional eastern Croatian town of Vukovar. During the Croatian War of Independence Vukovar became one of the major hotspots of Serb-Croat ethnic conflicts, especially at the time of the Battle of Vukovar after which the town became de facto seat of the self proclaimed Serb Autonomous Oblast Eastern Slavonia, Baranja, and Western Syrmia.
