==History== Žvirče was burned several times by Italian forces during the Second World War. The school was burned in a Partisan attack in March 1943, and the village came under German aerial bombardment on 1 March 1944 and six villagers were killed. At the end of 1944, six Partisans were killed and 11 wounded in an engagement with German forces. On 15 March 1945, the 15th division of the Yugoslav Partisans burned the village and evicted the population.
