thumb|Cvelferija Cvelferija is a geographic region in Croatian part of Syrmia, in eastern Croatia. Villages in the region are Gunja, Vrbanja, Soljani, Strošinci, Đurići, Račinovci, Rajevo Selo, Posavski Podgajci and Drenovci, which are better known as “the heart of Cvelferija“.
The name for the region comes from the German word zwölf or twelve. Specifically, villages were part of the Slavonian Military Frontier in the past, where they were part of the Twelfth Company of the Frontier. At that time this region was bordering the Ottoman Empire, while in the present the region borders Bosnia-Herzegovina (to the south) and Serbia (to the east).
