Karadžićevo (Serbian: Караџићево[3]) is a village in Croatia, municipality Markušica, Vukovar-Syrmia County.[4]
Until 1920, the village was called Križevci. The settlement was originally a pustara, a Pannonian type of hamlet.[5] A colonist settlement was established there in the course of the land reform in interwar Yugoslavia.[6] Serbian volunteers settled the village and changed its name into Karadžićevo. The village was named after Vuk Karadzic. During the Croatian War of Independence, Karadžićevo was controlled by the self-proclaimed SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia. Croat special police stationed in Varaždin attacked the village which made it suffer major damage although the SAO won the battle.[7]
According to the 1991 census, the village was inhabited by a majority of Serbs (83.21%), and minority of Croats (14.59%).[8]
