Divjake is a settlement in the Municipality of Skrad in Croatia. ^[4] In 2021, its population was 28. ^[2]

History

A 22 December 1939 decision as part of agrarian reforms by Ban Šubašić to confiscate the local forest property of the Thurn and Taxis family, Kálmán Ghyczy and Nikola Petrović resulted in a legal dispute known as the Thurn and Taxis Affair, in part because of the relative status of the family and in part because of the proximity to the Italian border. ^{[5] [6]}
