Gospođinci

Gospođinci (Serbian Cyrillic: Госпођинци; Hungarian: Boldogasszonyfalva) is a village in the municipality of Žabalj, in the South Bačka District of Serbia.

During the Habsburg rule in the 18th and 19th century, the village belonged to the Military Frontier province (the Šajkaš Battalion section).

During the Hungarian Axis occupation, in a 1942 raid, 85 inhabitants of the village were murdered, of whom there were 47 men, 19 women, 15 children, and four elderly people.

As the data from 1981 to 1991 shows, the village had greater mortality rate then natality, which was, and still is, the main problem in the whole of Vojvodina, due to the decline in the quality of life caused by the death of Josip Broz Tito, and the communist ideals, which led to an escalating crisis in the former SFR of Yugoslavia.

However, the data from 1991 to 2002 shows a population increase caused by Serb refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia who settled in the village during the Yugoslav Wars.
