Glogonjski Rit

Glogonjski Rit

Glogonjski Rit (Serbian Cyrillic: Глогоњски Рит) is a suburban settlement of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in the Belgrade's municipality of Palilula.

Location

Glogonjski Rit is located in the northern, Banat section of the municipality, 16 kilometers north of downtown Belgrade and 3 kilometers east of the "Zrenjaninski put" road which connects Belgrade with the town of Zrenjanin in Vojvodina. The settlement is built in the central part of the marsh of Pančevački Rit, on the "Sibnica" canal.

Characteristics

The settlement is not classified as a separate one but as a sub-settlement of the 5 kilometers away Padinska Skela to the west, even though the two settlements make no continuous built-up area.

The settlement was named after the nearby village of Glogonj in Opovo municipality in Vojvodina and means "Glogonj marsh". It is local center of the sport fishing.

As almost all of the settlements in the Pančevački Rit it developed after 1947 for housing workers employed in the melioration and later those who became workers of the PKB agricultural company, so even today Glogonjski Rit is surrounded by the PKB plantations.

During NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999, NATO aircraft targeted the fuel tank of the petrol station near Glogonjski Rit.

If Dunavski Venac detach from Palilula and becomes a separate municipality (process began in 2006) it is said that Glogonjski Rit would also be detached from Padinska Skela into a separate settlement.
