Monument in honor of twelve Croatian policemen who were killed on May 2, 1991 in the village of Borovo. It was built in 2002 and is located in the center of the village. Until the unveiling of the monument, tributes to fallen heroes were paid at the entrance to the village of Borovo, where 12 cypress trees were planted.

On the night of May 1-2, 1991, the police patrol intended to remove the Yugoslav and Chetnik flags that were hung at the entrance to the village of Borovo and replace them with the Croatian flag. While performing their duties, two policemen were wounded, and two were captured by Serbian rebels. The next day, a bus with Croatian policemen came to free two captured colleagues. They were met in an ambush. In the process, 12 policemen were killed and more than 20 were wounded.
