Mikluševci (Pannonian Rusyn:Миклошевци)[4] is avillage inCroatia.
The name of the village inCroatian is plural. Other than Croatian and Pannonian Rusyn the village is known as Миклушевци inSerbian,Szentmiklós inHungarian andSankt Niklas inGerman.
It is assumed, but there are no preserved documents, that Mikluševci existed as an independent noble estate beforeTurkish rule. Mikluševci were under Turkish rule between 1526 and 1691, when all villages from this area were displaced. After liberation from theTurks,OrthodoxVlachs settled in Mikluševci first, after 1700, and later refugees fromBaranja, and in the middle of the 19th century,Ruthenians. According to the population census from 1880, Mikluševci had 712 inhabitants, of which 467 wereGreek Catholics, 227Orthodox, 11Roman Catholics and 7Jews.[5]
During theCroatian War of Independence, theCroatian Serb forces captured the village on 8 October 1991. Following the capture of the village, a family of three was killed by the Croatian Serb forces in the nearby Jelaš Forest, and 92 were expelled. A total of 35 persons were charged with the killings in 1996 by Croatian authorities inOsijek. By 2009, when the trial had concluded, eleven defendants died, and charges against ten were dropped. Twelve were convicted to prison sentences ranging from four to fifteen years and two were acquitted. Most of the defendants weretriedin absentia—only three defendants were present at the sentencing.[6]
