Bojanci is a village in the Municipality of Črnomelj in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenian statistical region.[2]
The village was established by Serbs that had joined the Uskok bands when fleeing Ottoman persecution. The local church is thus a Serbian Orthodox Church, dedicated to the Beheading of St. John the Baptist. It dates to the late 18th century, when it replaced its wooden predecessor.[3]
