Erdut

Erdut is a village and municipality in eastern Croatia, about 37 kilometres east of Osijek, on the border with Serbia where the Danube and Drava rivers flow through its flat, fertile territory. It lies in Osijek-Baranja County in eastern Slavonia, and the village stands at an elevation of 158 metres. Its name comes from the local Hungarian name Erdőd, meaning forest road. The place was first mentioned in 1335. Erdut is best known as the site where the Erdut Agreement was signed on 12 November 1995, which brought the part of eastern Slavonia still held by Serbs back under Croatian control. The municipality allows Serbian and the Cyrillic alphabet in official use alongside Croatian, and its municipal centre is the village of Dalj.
