### Bosnian region of Romanija

[edit]

Autonomous Serbian Region Romanija (1991-1992)

In 1991-1992 there was the so-called "Serb Autonomous Region of Romanija" ("Srpska autonomna oblast Romanija"), an autonomous region created by the Serbs, which was part of the Bosnian Serb republic during the 1992-1995 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]
