Brezovica pri Metliki (pronounced [ˈbɾeːzɔʋitsa pɾi mɛˈtliːki]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Metlika in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia, right on the border with Croatia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[2] It surrounds the small Croatian enclave of Brezovica Žumberačka.[3][4][5]

Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Brezovica to Brezovica pri Metliki in 1953.[6]
History
In 2015, the complex border line in this area attracted the attention of the Polish tourist Piotr Wawrzynkiewicz, who learned from local people that there was a small unclaimed piece of land and claimed it for his micronation Kingdom of Enclava. The novelty attracted significant international media attention at the time.[7][8] Later, the Slovene Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this was Slovenia's territorial claim to be resolved by the court of arbitration later that year, and so the founder moved his micronation to the border between Croatia and Serbia, in the vicinity of Liberland.[9]
