Characteristics
The remains belonging to the Scordisci, a Celtic tribe which founded Singidunum and Taurunum, the predecessors of Belgrade and Zemun, respectively, were found in Boljevci.[3]
Boljevci is located in the marshy floodplain of the Sava. On the west of Boljevci, is a larger pond of Živača, used for the "Boljevci" fish pond.
There is a nautical complex in Boljevci, the Nautical Village "Biser". It consists of the row of 16 floating bungalows and the berths on the Sava bank. Apart from restaurants, both on the water and on the land, the complex includes promenades, sports fields and the surrounding 12 ha (30 acres) of forest.[4][5]
Until the early 1960s Boljevci had its own municipality which was then annexed to the municipality of Surčin.
After the WW2 communist created the PKB and took all agricultural land called "Livade" (Serbian) or "Pažiť & Drienska" (Slovak) from the Slovak church. The agricultural land has recently been returned to the church but the state didn't pay any compensation for using their land since second world war.
