Vupik owned agricultural complex. It consists of a former pustara (secluded agricultural or farming complex which was usually in care of a single family, sometimes even just one person) and other commercial buildings which are of a more recent date (farms, warehouses and silages).
Ovčara ... a farm, a simple farm, similar in many respects to thousands of other farms. It is located some 10 kilometers south-east of Vukovar. Along with two other farms, Grabovo and Jakobovac, it represented a perfect picture of the wealth and power of the Eltz family. Today it is part of the Vukovar farming concern VUPIK. Its name would have remained unknown if it weren’t for the events of 1991 - a horrifying act of hatred, lack of humanity and a symbol of what is lowest in people.
