Lovćenac ( Serbian - Cyrillic Ловћенац , German Sekitsch , Hungarian Szeghegy ) is a village in the Serbian Batschka in the municipality of Mali Iđoš . Montenegrins make up more than half of the population. The village is the only one in the municipality in which Hungarians are not in the majority.
history
The place was first mentioned in 1570 under the Hungarian name Szeghegy. Desolate by the Turkish wars, the place was re-established in 1786 by Protestant German settlers. At the end of the First World War, most of the Batschka fell to Yugoslavia and the official place name was changed to Sekic (German: Sekitsch). On October 18, 1944, Soviet soldiers reached the village. A part of the majority German population was called off for forced labor and subsequently expelled. The church and cemetery were leveled. The place, now deserted for the second time in its history, was finally repopulated with Montenegrins.
