Radojevo (Радојево) is a village in Serbia. It is situated in the municipality of Nova Crnja, Central Banat District, Vojvodina province. The village has a Serb ethnic majority and its population is 1,385 people (2002 census).

[edit] Name

In Serbian, the village is known as Radojevo or Радојево, in Hungarian as Klári, in German as Klari, and in Croatian as Radojevo.

[edit] History

Historically, the village was called Klarija, and before merging, there were two Klarija's: Srpska Klarija (Serb Klarija) and Hrvatska Klarija (Croat Klarija).
In Hungarian sources these were called Szerbklári and Horvátklári (located in 20° 47' 21" E and 45° 44' 48" N), respectively.
Hrvatska Klarija got its name after Croatian settlers (nobles that originated from Turopolje), that were settled there by the Diocese of Zagreb on its possessions (see Hrvatska Keča, Hrvatski Čenej). The village changed its name after the WW2 and there is an initiative to give to the village its original name Srpska Klarija.
