Moravice (formerly known as Komorske Moravice until 1919, thereafter as Srpske Moravice until 1991[3] [4]) (Serbian: Моравице[5]) is a settlement in north-western Croatia, situated at the far east of the mountainous region of Gorski kotar in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. It is part of the Vrbovsko municipality. The population is 664 (as of the 2011 census).
The Serbs were settled in Moravice 1585 on the proposal general of Karlovac Josip Turn.[6] Vlachs were Slavic shepherds or foreigners who were settled through Statuta Vlachorum on this territory.
