Tompojevci (Hungarian: Tompojevce, Rusyn: Томпоєвци, Serbian Cyrillic: Томпојевци) is a village and municipality in the Vukovar-Syrmia County in Croatia.
The village of Tompojevci was first mentioned in the 13th century, in Hungarian documents as Tomteleke. The Croatian name of the village, Tompojevci, appears for the first time in 1581. According to the population census from 1847, Tompojevci had 501 inhabitants, 492 Catholics and 9 Orthodox. [3]
According to the 2011 census, there are 1,565 inhabitants in the municipality.[4] With pronounced issue of population decline in eastern Croatia caused by population ageing, effects of the Croatian War of Independence and emigration after the accession of Croatia to the European Union, the population of the municipality dropped to 1,116 residents at the time of 2021 census.
The municipality encompasses the Jelaš Forest, where a mass grave containing six bodies and three individual graves of people killed during the Croatian War of Independence were found. As of October 2013[update] four of the bodies remain unidentified, while the rest were Croatian National Guard soldiers and civilians. A memorial was built at the site in 2013.[5]
Tompojevci is underdeveloped municipality which is statistically classified as the First Category Area of Special State Concern by the Government of Croatia.[6]
