Dunavac (Serbian Cyrillic: Дунавац) is a suburban settlement of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in the Belgrade's municipality of Palilula. The word literally means "Little Danube"
Location[edit]
Dunavac is located in the northern, Banat section of the municipality, 31 kilometer north of downtown Belgrade and 5 kilometer from the small town of Opovo, a municipal seat in the South Banat District in Vojvodina. The settlement is located on the Zrenjaninski put road, which connects Belgrade with the town of Zrenjanin, also in Vojvodina.
Population[edit]
The settlement originated after 1947 when mass melioration works began in the marsh of Pančevački Rit, in the extreme northern part of which Dunavac is located. It is a small, slightly depopulating settlement with a population of 618 by the 1991 census and 603 by the 2002 census. Population is made mostly of Serbs (91.87% in 2002).
Characteristics[edit]
Name dunavac originates from the small stream on which the settlement was built, less than 1 kilometer from the Danube's left bank and means the small Danube, which is a common name for arms of the Danube in Slavic countries.
Dunavac administratively comprises the settlement of Besni Fok which is totally separated from it and 9 kilometers away from it. As both settlements are small, they don't make one continuous built-up area.
