Opovo (Serbian Cyrillic: Опово; Hungarian: Ópáva) is a town and municipality located in the South Banat District of the autonomous province of Vojvodina, Serbia.With the abolishment of Military Frontier in Banat (in 1873), Opovo was included into Torontál County, which was part of the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary and Austria-Hungary.[2] In 1910, Serbs were in an absolute majority in Opovo, while other ethnic groups that lived in the settlement included Germans, Croats and Hungarians.From 1941 to 1944, it was occupied by German Axis troops and was included in the German-administered Banat region, which was part of Serbia.In 1944, Soviet Red Army and Yugoslav partisans expelled Axis troops from the region and Opovo was included into Autonomous Province of Vojvodina within new socialist Yugoslavia.
