The village connects to surrounding communities including Plavno, Drenovac Osredački, Golubić, Radljevac, and Vrpolje through roads that link the local settlements together.
The village was significantly affected by the regional conflicts of the 1990s, which led to major population changes. These events shaped the demographic profile of the community that persists today.

This is a small, quiet village in a highland area best reached by personal vehicle, as public transport options are limited in rural regions. Exploring nearby villages along the connecting roads offers a good way to understand the broader local landscape.
