Sotin is a village in eastern Croatia, located a few kilometers southeast of Vukovar by the Danube.

[4] Sotin (German Sotting, Hungarian Szottin) was first mentioned in 1289 as a fortress of the Vukovar jobagions.

[5] During the Croatian War of Independence, 32 residents of Sotin were killed and another 32 are missing as of 2013[update].

A mass grave containing three bodies was discovered near the village through information obtained by Serbian authorities conducting a criminal inquest of war crimes—killing of 16 Croatian civilians in Sotin—committed by the Croatian Serb militia and Territorial Defense Forces in late 1991.

[7] Two other mass graves were found previously, one at the Catholic graveyard in the village and the other in nearby vineyards.
