  Wikipedia: 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.
Almost the entire Croatian population of the region was expelled or fled in a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" for which the Krajina Serb leader, Milan Babic, was convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in January 2004.

The recognition of Croatia does not necessarily mean the recognition of her present administrative borders, since in the international law the recognition of government and the recognition of the territory which it governs mean two different things.
Recognizing the independence of Croatia, along with the introduction of the protectorate of the United Nations in the Knin and Slavonian Krajina, and with the international guarantees of ethnic rights to the Serbian minority in Croatia, Serbia would, with an acceptable arrangement, be prepared to leave the conflict.
Krajinas would only formally stay in Croatia, but they would not be under its government and would have to be placed under the international protectorates.

Kaser notes in his introduction that the Croatian victory and the consequent mass exodus of the Serb population put an end not only to the idea of an independent Serb Krajina, but also to a survival of the vanished era of the Military Border.
The "territorialization" of the Border (the extension of a regularized canton system for military administration and an attendant bureaucratic structure wholly separate from "civil" Croatia) created an artificial and ultimately unsustainable zone which failed as both an agrarian society and a reservoir of soldiers.
After all, the Grenzers were subject not to local authority but to the military authorities in Vienna and faced, at least in name, a common Turkish threat.
