Ljukovo (Serbian Cyrillic: Љуково) is a village in the Inđija municipality, in Serbian northern province of Vojvodina. The village has a population numbering 1,525 people (2011 census).[1]
The village was formed in 1927 by workers on the nearby large Jojkić farm, settled from the
Kninska krajina, Cazin and Sanski Most. The villagers were mainly employed in industrial facilities in Inđija, chiefly the once great "Yugoslav Fur Factory".[2] Today, most residents are involved in agriculture.[3]
Foundations of the village's Orthodox church were laid in 1992, and it was completed in 2003. It is dedicated to the Ascension of Mary (Uspenje presvete Bogorodice).[3]
Ljukovo became famous for its "Liars' Club" (Клуб Лажова), whose president was the local jokester Mirko Bera, and after his death, his son Stamenko took over.[4][3]
