Jošavica is a village in central Croatia, in the Town of Petrinja, Sisak-Moslavina County. It is connected by the D30 highway.
According to the 2011 census, the village of Jošavica has 84 inhabitants. This represents 19.44% of its pre-war population according to the 1991 census.
According to the 1991 census,[2] 98.38% of the village population were ethnic Serbs (425/432), 0.23% were ethnic Croats (1/432), while 1.39% were of other ethnic origin (6/432).
Serbian Orthodox Church of Saint George was built in the village in the mid 19th century.[3] Most probably it was constructed on the site of earlier wooden church.[3] The building was damaged during the World War II and its reconstruction was completed in 1968.[3] As of 2008 a new reconstruction of deteriorated building, funded by the Ministry of Culture, was not completed.[3]
