A couple of these towns look like misspellings of towns near Virovitica, adjacent to the Hungarian border. Grubio could be a shortening of GRUBISNO, usually spelt Grubisno Polje. Kociani is close to the name KORENCHANI. ORECAC is nearby and could be corrupted to Koza and Rosa. It might even make your Uljassik into a real town. Just in case some of my names might show on your lines, what are the names you associated with these towns?
