Grabovo is a settlement south of Vukovar, Croatia. The location was established as a pustara, a Pannonian type of hamlet.[2] It consists of two hamlets, Ovčara and Jakobovac, in the north, which are administratively part of the city of Vukovar, and have a total population of 47,[3] and an uninhabited section in the south which is administratively under the municipality of Tompojevci.[4]
Before the Croatian War of Independence, Grabovo had 192 inhabitants. In 1991, 154 inhabitants were expelled from Grabovo, and to this day no one has returned to Grabovo.[5]
Ovčara is best known for the Ovčara camp and the Ovčara massacre of 1991.
Ovčara and Jakobovac each used to be registered as a standalone settlement, but were joined under the name Grabovo in 1991, and subsequently administratively split in 2001.[6]
