		Tens of thousands of Catholics from the area of the diocese of Banja Luka and the archdiocese of Vrhbosna, as well as other regions of Bosnia-Hercegovina, are still waiting to return to their centuries-old places of origin, to their parishes, so that they might continue a life worthy of human beings.
		The Catholic Church in Banja Luka was badly injured during the so-called Viennese war (from 1681 till 1699), and particularly in 1737 during the so-called Banjaluka war, when the parish church was burned and the believers moved out in large numbers.
		The oldest registers of baptisms, marriages and deaths in the Banja Luka parish “Visitation of Blessed Virgin Mary” date from 1753, and are written partly in Bosnian Cyrillic script in Croatian (so-called ikavica), and partly on the Latin.

		Bosanska Krajina or Bosnian Frontier (Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian: Bosanska Krajina or Босанска Крајина, Turkish: Bosna sınır boyu) is a geographical region in western Bosnia and Herzegovina enclosed by three rivers - Sava, Una and Vrbas.
		When the Ottoman Empire lost the 1683-1690 War of the Holy League to the Habsburg Monarchy and her allies, and ceded Slavonia and Hungary to Austria at the 1699 Treaty of Karlowitz, Bosnia's northern and western borders became the frontier between the Austrian and Ottoman empires known today as Bosanska Krajina.
		The later economic boom and prosperity of Bosanska Krajina was mostly due to planned urban development programs that were created specifically for this region in early and mid-1970s by Urban Institute in Banja Luka.

		Banja Luka's fall had meant a great blow against Serbian hopes to keep alive the self-styled Republika Sparska, a country carved out of Bosnia and cleared of almost everyone who is not Serb.
		By the time the Peace Agreement was concluded in December 1995, the attacking troops had pushed to within 25 miles of Banja Luka from the south, creating a refugee crisis of great proportions as thousands of Serb inhabitants sought protection in larger Serb-held urban centers, such as Banja Luka and Prijedor.
