Divoselo (Serbian Cyrillic: Дивосело) is a village in the Gospić municipality in the Lika region of central Croatia. It is located near Gospić, connected by the D25 highway.
History
[edit]During the WWII Genocide of Serbs by the Croatian fascist Ustaše regime, more than 900 Serbs were massacred in Divoselo.[3]
The Serb community was ethnically cleansed from the area during the Operation Medak Pocket (September 1993) of the Croatian War (1991–95), when the Croatian Army took it from the break-away Republic of Serbian Krajina. Earlier, the Battle of Gospić (1991) included firefights between the Yugoslav People's Army and the Croatian National Guard in the village.
Demographics
[edit]The 1712–14 census of Lika and Krbava registered 589 inhabitants, all of whom were Serbian Orthodox ("Vlach").[4]
The 1991 census registered 344 residents, out of whom 304 were ethnic Serbs. The 2011 census registered 4 residents.
