context_page_description: Banovci is a village in eastern Croatia, 7 kilometers away from the Serbian border.
  It is connected to surrounding areas by the D46 road and Zagreb-Belgrade Railway. The village is 116 km away from Belgrade, 158 km from Sarajevo, 249 km from Zagreb and 257 km from Budapest.
context_section_description: The village of Banovci was called "Novi Banovci" up until the 1900 and "Šidski Banovci" between 1910 and 1991. The name was formally changed in 1991 by the removal of the first word, yet since the village was part of a self-proclaimed Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia the old name was officially used in administration up until 1998 ad the end of the UNTAES transitional administration, with many local residents continuing to use it up to the present day. National law on Local elections in Croatia in 1997 by mistake still used the name Šidski Banovci instead of Banovci. The word "Šidski" is a possessive adjective derived from the name of the nearest town of Šid, located 12 kilometers from Banovci in neighboring Serbia. Similarly titled, Vinkovački Banovci is the name of the village adjacent to Banovci. Croatian Railways, the national railway company, still uses the name Šidski Banovci for the local Šidski Banovci railway station.  The old name was used by The New York Times in their 2005 investigative report. The 2017 Report on the County Roads published by the Vukovar-Syrmia County in March of 2018 still used the previous name Šidski Banovci both on the map and in the textual analysis. The name of the village in Croatian or Serbian is in the plural, and therefore it is grammatically correct to refer to it as "(Šidski) Banovci are" instead of "(Šidski) Banovci is". A hypothetical singular version of the name would be (Šidski) Banovac.
