Mirkovci ist neben Vinkovci, 100 Stunden? HAHAHA. Über die Lika wird gesungen, da ein Lika-Serbe dort Kommandant war.
Mirkovci (
Serbian: Мирковци, Hungarian:
Szegfalu) is a village and the
suburb of town
Vinkovci, in eastern
Croatia. It is in
Syrmia region, located south-eastern from Vinkovci, of which is separated by a railway.
In the vicinity, the Roman town of
Cibalae (Vinkovci) was the birthplace of
Valentinian I in 321.
During the Second World War, 107 ethnic Serbs were transferred and killed in the Jasenovac concentration camp by the Croatian fascist Ustashe[1].
In the beginning of 1991, the 1809 Serbian Orthodox church of Saint Nicholas was destroyed[2] by Croatian police forces shelling from Vinkovci[3]. During the Croatian War, Mirkovci was under Serb control since the majority of inhabitants were ethnic Serbs
[4].
The majority of the inhabitants are ethnic
Serbs. A former village,
Milovanci (Hungarian:
Monostormilvány) is today part of Mirkovci.

Von 1991 bis 1998 war Mirkovci serbisch kontrolliert. Und noch heute sind die Serben die Bevölkerungsmehrheit.
Za vrijeme
Domovinskog rata 1990./
1991. g., Mirkovci su bili jako uporište raznih srpskih paravojnih snaga, a zbog blizine gradu Vinkovcima, neke od najvećih borbi u ratu su se vodile upravo na poljima između Mirkovaca i Vinkovaca. Vinkovački silos je vrlo blizu sela i često je granatiran od tamo, kao i obližnji gradski kvartovi (najbliži je Radićev blok).
