Geography
Situated across the Danube from the municipality center, Neštin is a practical exclave, as the shortest road (9 km) linking it with Bačka Palanka (across the Ilok–Bačka Palanka Bridge) leads halfway through the territory of Croatia, and includes two border crossings. A tightened border regime owing to Croatia's accession to the European Union in 2013 has caused considerable inconvenience for the daily commuting of students and workers. Agriculture producers of Neštin were affected in particular, because transport of goods through Croatia was not permitted anymore without extensive paperwork.[3]
History
The 12-meter tall obelisk "Monument to Victims of Fascism 1941-45" designed by Jovan Soldatović is located in Neštin.
