Soljani (Slovak: Soľany) are a village in Cvelferija in the southernmost part of Vukovar-Syrmia County.
The village's greatest development was during the 18th and the 19th century when the Slovaks from Vojvodina and Slovakia settled there.
[3] Since some of the first settlers were predominantly Roman Catholic, just like the majority of the residents of the village, assimilation process was relatively easy and quick.
[4] Before Soljani Evangelical parish gained its independence in 1911 religious services were provided by Slovak parish in Bingula and by the Slovak Evangelical Church in Šid.
[3] Elementary school in Soljani at the time provided classes in Slovak for 30-40 pupils.
