Dubljani (Serbian Cyrillic: Дубљани) is a village in the municipality of Trebinje, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1]
History
Before the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the village was mainly Catholic. After the Ottoman conquest, the Catholic clergy left the area, which was filled in by the Eastern Orthodox priests.[2] As a result, in the early 17th century, the Catholics in the village mostly converted to Eastern Orthodoxy. Bishop Dominik reported in 1629 that in Dubljani and in the nearby village of Dračevo, out of sixty families only nine were Catholics, while the rest converted to Eastern Orthodoxy "a few years ago". Additionally, the Eastern Orthodox bishop occupied two Catholic churches in these villages.[3]
