Neštin (Serbian Cyrillic: Нештин)
is a village located in the Bačka
Palanka municipality, in the South
Bačka District of Serbia, although
it is not geographically located in
Bačka, but in Syrmia. The village
is situated in the Autonomous
Province of Vojvodina. The
population of Neštin numbering
900 people (2002 census), of
whom 689 are ethnic Serbs. Vine
produced in Neštin is famous.
Situated across the Danube from
the municipality centre, Neštin is
a practical exclave, as the
shortest road (9 km) linking it
with Bačka Palanka (across the
Ilok–Bačka Palanka Bridge) leads
halfway through the territory of
Croatia, and includes two border
crossings. Tightened border
regime due to Croatia's accession
to the European Union
in 2013 caused inconvenience
for daily commuting of pupils
and workers. Agriculture
producers of Neštin were hit in
particular, because transport of
goods through Croatia was not
permitted anymore without
extensive paperwork.[1]
