History
editThe region is north of Sarajevo and local features include the "Romanija Mountains" and "Romanija Planina".
Administratively the region was part of the Republika Srpska's region called: Region Sarajevo-Romanija[2] (formerly SAO Romanija).[3]
Autonomous Serbian region Romanija
editIn 1991-1992 there was the so-called "Autonomous Serbian Region Romanija" ("Srpska autonomna oblast Romanija"), an autonomous region created by the Serbs, which was part of the Bosnian Serb republic during the 1995-1996 Bosnian War.[4]
From November 1991, this region was expanded by the addition of the Serbian area of Birac (located around the town of Vlasenica) and placed under the presidency of Drago Blagojevic, and by 1992 it was incorporated into the Republika Srpska.[5]
