Geography
History
By the end of 19th century, Štitar was populated by Serb refugees from outside of then-autonomous (and later independent) Serbia. The first group came from Montenegro in the 18th century, followed by others from Herzegovina, Bosnia, and parts of present-day Serbia that remained under Ottoman rule after the Second Serbian Uprising.
