Perjasica

Perjasica is a village in central Croatia, in the municipality of Barilović, Karlovac County. It is alternately known as Gornja Perjasica.[3] The village suffered large losses to property and life during World War II and the Croatian War of Independence. Inhabitants returning to the region after the War of Independence faced bureaucratic and legal barriers, leading to a steep decline in post-war population. Limited reinvestment in this area after the war has resulted in few operational public services, with no public transportation options, irregular roads frequently made impassable by snow, and limited medical access.[4]
