Đeletovci, Settlement in Vukovar-Srijem County, Croatia.
Đeletovci is a small settlement in Nijemci municipality, Vukovar-Srijem County, located on gently rolling terrain. The village consists of scattered houses, a railway station on the Zagreb-Belgrade line, and road connections to surrounding regional towns.
The settlement was founded centuries ago as a small farming community and grew gradually with the region's agricultural development. During the 1990s wars in the region, it suffered severe destruction and displacement, from which it later rebuilt.
The village carries its name from a family that settled here centuries ago and shaped community life. This heritage remains visible in how neighbors stay connected and maintain local customs together.
Visitors can reach the village easily by train since the Zagreb-Belgrade line passes directly through it, offering convenient connections to larger cities. The best time to explore is outside winter months, when weather and daylight make walking through the surrounding countryside more enjoyable.
Beneath the village lie significant oil and gas deposits operated by a major energy company, bringing jobs to the local economy. These underground resources are invisible to visitors but quietly shape the community's economic life.
