Sremski Karlovci is town in Vojvodina, the northern province of Serbia. The town was first mentioned in historical documents in 1308 with the name Karma, fortress built on the ruins of the ancient Roman one. Slavic name Karlovci was first recorded in 1532. In 1699 it was a site of a congress that ended hostilities between Ottoman [Turkish] empire and coalition of various European powers.
Since that time it was a part of Austro-Hungarian monarchy with dominantly Serbian population. It was a spiritual and cultural centre of the Serbs in this part of the country. This area joined kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians in 1918 when it was founded.
