Bosanska Krajina Halal Travel Guide

Roughly a triangle bordered by Croatia to north and west, Central Bosnia to southeast and Northeastern Bosnia to east, Bosanska Krajina is the northwestern part of the nation. The name of the province, meaning the "Bosnian Frontier" in all of the local languages (Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian; Serbian Cyrillic: Босанска Крајина) as well as in other Slavic ones, is a legacy of the rivalry between the Austro-Hungarian Empire|Austrian and the Islamic Ottoman Empires, as the region was for long the borderland between these two major powers of the past.

Roughly divided politically in half, Western half of Bosanska Krajina forms part of Bosniak/Croat-majority Federation, while eastern half forms part of Republic of Srpska. Most of formerly multi-ethnic towns of the region are now (since the Yugoslav Wars of 1992–1995) dominated by an ethnicity, depending on which side of the inter-entity border they fall on.

Local Languages

All three languages of the region (Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian) are mutually intelligible with each other, however while in Republic of Srpska, you may need to decrypt some Cyrillic.
