For example, a student is a citizen of a village because he has permanent residence there (he lived there as a child and has parents), but most of the time he studies at a university in the city.
The vast majority of the municipality's population consists of the local Roma community. In 2019, they constituted an estimated 80% of the local population.[9]

Economy
The village's economy has always been agricultural. With the rise of communism in the second half of the 20th century, individual farmers were more or less forcibly consolidated in a local collective farm (similar to Soviet kolchoz). The economic situation of the now private collective farm is uncertain.
There is a small local shop with consumer credit activities and a small local pub, but the pub has been closed down recently, however, because of violence.
