Banschaft Drina
The Banschaft Drina ( Serbo-Croatian Дринска бановина / Drinska banovina ) was one of the nine banks of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia , which were formed on October 3, 1929. The capital, de facto provincial capital, was Sarajevo . The Banschaft included roughly the eastern part of Bosnia and western central Serbia . The bank got its name after the river Drina .
population
The borders of the Banschaft were drawn in such a way that the Orthodox Yugoslavs (in the Kgr.Yugoslavia, censuses were not carried out according to nationality, but according to the language; Serbs , Croats and Bosniaks were summarized in the Serbo-Croatian language ) formed the majority population. Thus the Banschaft Drina could be counted among the "Serbian countries". With the establishment of the Croatian bank in 1939 it was planned to divide Yugoslavia into three federal units, consisting of the Slovenian, Croatian and Serbian banks. The Serbian bank should therefore also have included the Drina bank.
history
The Banschaft Drina was created in 1929 with the reorganization of the Yugoslav state from the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia under Alexander I. With the establishment of the Croatian Banschaft in 1939, smaller areas with Brčko in the north fell to the new Banschaft. After the attack of the Hitler regime on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the capitulation of Yugoslavia in 1941, the Drina Banschaft was dissolved. The western, d. H. Bosnian part was added to the Ustaše state , the eastern, central Serbian part came to the Protectorate of Serbia . After the war, in communist Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina was formed on the borders before 1918 and as a federal republic, the eastern part of the Drina Banschaft remained with Serbia; the bank itself was not renewed.
