SAO Bosanska Krajina

*** Shopping-Tip: SAO Bosanska Krajina
'''SAO Bosanska Krajina''', some times called Autonomous Region Krajina (Automna Oblast Krajina). SAO Bosanska Krajina stands for Serbian Autonomous Region of Bosnian Krajina. It was a SAO (Serb Autonomous Region) that largely consisting of the Bosanska Krajina region. Its capital was Banja Luka. The SAO Bosanksa Krajina developed in summer and autumn of 1991 in preparation for a step to independence being take by Bosnia like Slovenia and Croatia had done. The goal was to have areas where Serbs have a majority or significant portion of population prevent such independency by forcing Bosnia to accept the Belgrade Initiative, but when it was rejected they wanted to help create Greater Serbia. The Serbs for this created 4 Serbians Serbian autonomous districts and one Serbian autonomous region (SAO Bosanska Krajina being the region). The SAO Bosanska Krajina was created from the Community (Association) of Bosnian Krajina Municipalities, with the exception that it did not include the region known as Cazinska Krajina or Prijedor municipality at first. Other similar situations were done in other Associations of Municipalities (or Community of Municipalities)in Bosnia, which were a type of government created under the Constitution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Unlike the other SAO's in Bosnia which were formed over summer and fall the SAO Bosanska Krajina was officially formed on April 25, 1991, but under the name ARK (Autonomous Region of Krajina — referring to Bosnian Krajina). There were attempts during the summer of 1991 to merge it with SAO Krajina. On September 12 its name was officially changed to SAO Bosanska Krajina.
