Nova Kršlja is a village in Croatia.

History

[edit]

In the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the gendarmerie of the Drežnik Grad općina was not in Drežnik but in Nova Kršlja, farther away from Drežnik than the gendarmerie of the Rakovica općina. This was to ease the monitoring of peripheral areas like Kordunski Ljeskovac and Mašvina. In 1941, shortly after the establishment of the NDH, the Croatian Peasant Defense [hr] forces disarmed the gendarmerie of Nova Kršlja on their own initiative, replacing its commander Stojan Borojević with a Croat commander Mirko Frković, and dismissing all Serb members.[3]: 63 

In 1941, Nikola Crnković was designated as its Ustaša zbirnik.[3]: 64 

Following this, a number of Serbs were arrested for possession of arms and held captive at the arms depot in Nova Kršlja, only released thanks to the intervention of Franjo Rajković of the općina administration in Rakovica.[3]: 65
