History

Slakovci were first mentioned in 1491. They got their name from the weed “slak” or the Hungarian word “slavok” which means Slavs. The feudal family of Gorjanski built a fort in Slavkovci for defense against the Turks. The Turks ruled the Slakovci from 1526 to 1691, and after that the Slakovci belonged to the military territory. [3] Following Ottoman retreat from the region, the Lordship of Vukovar was established, and the village became part of its domain in 1716 until 1737 when it was transferred back to Slavonian Military Frontier.[4][5]

In July 1943, during the World War II in Yugoslavia, Nazi forces destroyed agricultural machinery, including threshers, across several villages, including Slakovci.[6]
