	Krajina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cetinska krajina, the watershed of river Cetina in Dalmatian hinterland, near the border with Herzegovina
		SAO Kninska Krajina, Kninska Krajina since the Yugoslav wars is used by some to signify two regions Knin and its surroundings, and to a larger extend Krajina proper (refering to main portion of Republic of Serbian Krajina).
		Where the term "Serbian Krajina" or "Krajina" alone is used, it probably refers to either the Military Krajina or the former RSK (Republic of Serbian Krajina).

		Krajina is a geographic term which means borderland, akin to the present-day name of the Ukraine.
		The Krajina in the Balkans is mostly associated with the Military Frontier (Militär Gränze) which acted as the Austrian cordon sanitaire against the Turks in the Middle Ages.
		During the 1990s, the parts of the Krajina which were found on the territory of the former Yugoslav Republic of Croatia organized into Serb Autonomous Regions and finally the Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK) in 1991 after Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia.

		Authorities of the Krajina Serbs in Knin, with the support of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, persistently were striving to reach with the Republic of Croatia, through the mediation of the international community, a reasonable and mutually acceptable political agreement.
		Krajina Serbs and their representatives, of course, did not have any illusion as to what are the final aims of the new Croat state.
		Krajina government would conduct independent fiscal policy, and the corresponding Krajina legislative bodies would pass laws and there would be a judicial power with first-instance and appellate courts of law.

		Bosanska Krajina, as such, has no political borders or political representation in the current structure of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian state, however it has a significant cultural and historical identity that was formed through several historic and economic events.
		Bosanska Krajina was also place of historical agreements that have taken place in Jajce and MrkonjiÄ Grad in 1943, ones that established the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in its current borders, as well as the Federation of Yugoslavia.
		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.

		The territory of the Serbian Krajina largely coincides with what used to be the "Military Frontier" (Vojna Krajina), along the borders of the Yugoslav republic of Croatia with its two eastern neighbors, the Yugoslav republics of Serbia and Bosnia-Hercegovina.
		At the end of the seventeenth century, after Vienna was rescued from the Ottomans by the Polish king Sobiesky, Emperor Leopold I of Austria again asked Serbs to guard its border with the Ottomans, and in 1690 Serbs led by Patriarch Charnojevich of Pech settled north of the Danube and Sava rivers.
		Today, after the fears of Krajina Serbs have become a reality, their decision to use arms to protect their land, villages, homes and families, their religion and their national identity against Croatian guns is just and legitimate.

		There is a risk that the battle for Krajina will spin out of control and engulf the Balkans in a wider war, one that could conceivably draw the republics of the former Yugoslavia, as well as their European and American allies, even further into the conflict.
		The Krajina army was originally expected to employ a collapsing defense strategy, holding a prepared line for a time, then falling back to another prepared position until it reached an area that was finally defensible.
		Experts deemed it a reasonable strategy; not only is Krajina too large to defend in its entirety, but the weight of both geography and history were on their side.

		Indeed, in Krajina, the US policy resulted in the total elimination and displacement of the local majority population, which under the Genocide Convention, was an act of genocide.

		Krajina aftermath: the ICRC appeals for care and support to save the old people abandones in Krajina.
		As the Croatian armed forces launched their offensive in the northern and southern sectors in early August, the Krajina Serb population gathered together their most precious possessions and fled in panic in what was the biggest single exodus since the start of hostilities in the former Yugoslavia.
		The cases of the hidden misery in and around the former Krajina sectors may not be as visibly dramatic as, for example, the scenes of a mass exodus of displaced people, yet the wretchedness, destitution, emotional torment and precarious future faced by thousands of old people is a shocking reality.

		Krajina was never part of independent Croatia since over 1000 years ago but entered first Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (and of 1WW), kingdom of Yugoslavia (name change at the end of 1920s) and Tito's Yugoslavia (post 2WW).
		Vojna Krajina was not under direct Hungarian rule as most of Croatia (Dalmatia and Istria were italian or rather venetian) where Zagreb was named Agram (hungarian) but Vojna Krajina was under direct Austria control with a substantial degree of autonomy (Serbs of Krajina had to provide soldiers for wars against the Turks).
		Ps: to Croatians krajina is extremely vital since it is situated in its heart and without the control of which it could barely function as a unit since Krajina practically divides it in two if not even three pieces (something that was Tudjman acutely aware of) as you can see in the map.

		In September 1990, a referendum was held in the Krajina (but was confined to Serb voters) on the question of Serb "sovereignty and autonomy" in Croatia, which was passed by a majority of 99.7% but was declared illegal and invalid by the Croatian government.
		Babić was elected President of the Executive Council of the SAO on April 30 and was subsequently appointed Minister of the Interior and Minister of Defence by the Krajina Serb Assembly.
		Babić strongly opposed this, instead renaming the SAO as the "Republic of Serbian Krajina" (RSK) on December 19, 1991 (to which was added the Serb-held areas of eastern Croatia in February 1992).

	Jonathan Rauch -- Reason magazine
		Alarmed at being stranded under a hostile and repressive regime, nationalist Serbs of the Krajina rebelled and seceded from Croatia.
		In Krajina, the flight of the Serbs appears to have been at least partly, if not largely, a by-product of military action (although, to be sure, a desirable by-product, from the Croatians' point of view).
		And just as the Krajina action was tolerable because it worked, so the bombing of your city (and possibly the invasion of your country and the killing of some of your countrymen, and some of mine) will be tolerable--if it works.

	Krajina '95
		Croatia's swift victory over the Krajina Serbs was not due so much to new weapons as to the acquisition of carefully selected equipment which enhanced their tactics and the performance of existing weaponry inherited from the former Yugoslav army.
		Knin, capital of the self-styled Krajina Serb Republic, was under attack from three directions as Croat gunners poured more than 1,500 rounds of artillery fire into the medieval fortress town.
		And they do not discount the possibility that, far from widening the war, the battle for Krajina could trigger a decisive shake-up of the military and political constellation in former Yugoslavia, open the way to a redrawing of the map, and bring about the settlement that has so far eluded the endless diplomatic efforts.

		Serbia seized the Krajina when war broke out in 1991, claiming that Croatia was threatening the ethnic Serbs who live there.
		The Krajina Serbs have also resumed random bombardments of towns nowhere near the bridge, such as Karlovac, which lies just forty miles from Zagreb.
		The reopening of the airport at Zemunik and the Maslenica bridge was a natural extension of the January offensive, he added, since, like that attack, it was merely an implementation, if unilateral, of the 1991 agreement allowing free passage through the UN Protected Areas.

		ela Krajina begins on the southern slopes of the Gorjanci range, the last of the alpine foothills that descend into the flat divide between the Alps and the Dinaric backbone of the Balkans.
		The flatlands of Bela Krajina are quite similar to those of the Kras area, but most of the area's viticultural sites are on the southern or southwestern slopes of rounded hills, mostly around 350 meters (1,150 ft.) above sea level.
		Judging from the awards won by wines from Bela Krajina, local producers have been quite successful with Beli Pinot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Rumeni Muskat, and Renski Rizling - in fact, some connoisseurs prefer these white wines to their more prestigious equivalents from the Podravje region because of their more moderate acidity.
