== Etymology == One legend states that the village derives its name from the word "ključ", meaning "key." Legend has it that a dignitary of the Ottoman government lost the keys to his harem while passing through this previously unnamed village. As these keys meant quite a bit to him, his entourage raised quite an alarm, enlisting the local population to find the keys. Another version of this legend attributes the name to the verb "kliče," meaning "to shout," presumably in reference to the same lost harem keys.
