Marku?ica ( Serbian Cyrillic : Маркушица , [5] Hungarian : Markusfalva , German : Sankt Markus ) is a village and a municipality in Vukovar-Syrmia County in eastern Croatia . Marku?ica is located south of the river Vuka and northwest of the town of Vinkovci . The landscape of the Marku?ica Municipality is marked by the Pannonian Basin plains and agricultural fields of wheat , maize , common sunflower and sugar beet .

The modern day municipality was established in 1997 by the UNTAES administration as one of new predominantly Serb municipalities in order to ensure access to local self-government to Serb community in the region. Alongside Marku?ica it includes the villages of Gabo? , Karad?i?evo , Ostrovo and Podrinje . Before the United Nations administrator implemented anty- gerrymandering reorganization, Marku?ica and Podrinje were a part of the Tordinci Municipality, while Karad?i?evo, Ostrvo and Gabo? were linked to Jarmina Municipality making Serb community minority in both of them.

Marku?ica Municipality is connected with the surrounding area via D518 road and L209 Vinkovci?Gabo??Osijek railway, with local stations in Gabo? and Ostrovo .

Marku?ica was one of the feudal villages that existed in the region before the Ottoman rule in Hungary .

The modern day Municipality of Marku?ica was established by the decision of the United States diplomat and at the time Transitional Administrator for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium Jacques Paul Klein . As the region was directly governed as an UN protectorate Transitional Administrator was the highest authority responsible for administrative affairs. Marku?ica Municipality was established as one of new predominantly Serb municipalities in order to ensure access to local self-government to Serb community in the region. Prior to the decision, the international community expressed concerns over the perceived gerrymandering, disenfranchisement of refugees and minority representation. [9]
