Encyclopedic overview
Borovo (Serbian Cyrillic: Борово, Hungarian: Boró, German: Worow), also known as Borovo Selo (Serbian Cyrillic: Борово Село; lit. 'Borovo Village'; ), is a village and a municipality in Vukovar-Syrmia County in eastern part of Croatia. Situated on the banks of the Danube river, it shares its border with Serbia and the municipality of Bač on the opposite side. The historical development of Borovo is closely linked with the Danube, which has played a central role in its development as a notable industrial hub in the region.
The etymological genesis of the toponym "Borovo" stems from the Serbo-Croatian word "bor" which signifies "pines." Although Borovo is an independent municipality, it is physically contiguous with the neighbouring town of Vukovar and functions as its satellite settlement. Borovo is the most populous settlement in Croatia in which ethnic Serbs constitute a majority of the population. It's Serb community also ranks as the second-largest Serbian community in the county, coming after the Serb community in Vukovar itself.
