Name

The name of the village in Croatian is in the plural, and therefore it is grammatically correct to refer to it as "Đeletovci are" instead of "Đeletovci is". A hypothetical singular version of the name would be Đeletovac.

History

Đeletovci was occupied by Yugoslavian army and by Republic of Serb Krajina forces on October 1, 1991.[3] The village was integrated into the rebel Republic of Serb Krajina during the Yugoslav Wars. The Scorpions paramilitary controlled the village during the war and remained there until 1996 when the United Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium took control of the area.[3] In 1998, the area was reintegrated into the Republic of Croatia. During the war, Serb forces evicted 900 inhabitants of the village.[4] By 2011 there were 511 people in the village.

Culture

The village has a cultural association KUD Grančica.[5] The association was founded in 1965.[6]
