Vaška

Vaška lies beside the Drava in the Slavonian region of Podravina, north of Slatina. In the Middle Ages it gave its name to an archdeaconry of the bishopric of Zagreb, whose parishes extended across the surrounding country. The parish of Slatina appeared within the archdeaconry in the list of 1334. Like other settlements near the Drava, Vaška belonged to a region later contested by the Ottoman and Habsburg powers; the Sopje district passed out of Ottoman hands in 1684.
