Bogovina (Serbian: Боговина) is a mining town located the municipality of Boljevac, eastern Serbia. As of 2011 census, it has a population of 1,151 inhabitants.
Bogovina grew around the underground brown coal mine opened in 1903. It reached its pinnacle in the mid-20th century, with the high demand for coal during the industrial growth of the country. With the reduction in coal production, the town has been experiencing gradual depopulation.[2], the Bogovina Coal Mine still employs 320 workers, but its destiny is uncertain due to the scheduled cessation of state subventions and likely closure of the "Resavica" mine complex.[3]
