Deikovo Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the settlement site of Deikovo to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selište Deikovo). The village of Deikovci, which is probably identical with the settlement site of Deikovo, was granted to the Monastery of Hilandar by the Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš in the year 1378/79 (Selo Deikovci). In the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572 a certain village called Delovci is registered. According to the context of the latter it must have been situated in the area of Lojane, Zlokukjane and Vaksince. On account of the sources, it is possible to argue that Deikovo, Deikovci and the Ottoman Delovci were one and the same place.
