Facts and practical information

The Church of St. George in Bobota is Serbian Orthodox church in eastern Croatia. The church is famous for its icons in the iconostasis that were painted in 1778. During the Croatian War of Independence, administration of Eparchy of Osječko polje and Baranja sent the icons on the restoration and preservation in Vojvodina. The icons were returned to the church after the end of war. The decision to remove the cultural property from the church caused controversy and was an open issue in Croatia–Serbia relations up until the final return of icons. ()
