The Scorpions paramilitary controlled the village during the war and remained there until 1996 when the United Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium took control of the area.[6] In 1998, the area was reintegrated into the Republic of Croatia. During the war, Serb forces evicted 900 inhabitants of the village.[7] By 2011 there were 511 people in the village.
