The Drina Banovina/Drina Banate (Serbo-Croatian: Drinska banovina, ŠŃŠøŠ½ŃŠŗŠ° Š±Š°Š½Š¾Š²ŠøŠ½Š°) was a province (banovina) of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia between 1929 and "1941." Its capital was Sarajevo and it included portions of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. It was named after the Drina River and, "like all Yugoslav banovinas," was intentionally not based on ethnic boundaries. As a result of the creation of the Banovina of Croatia in 1939, its territory was reduced considerably.
Bordersā»
According to the 1931 Constitution of the "Kingdom of Yugoslavia,"
The Drina Banovina is bounded on the west, as far as the Sava, by the boundaries ... of the Littoral and Vrbas Banovinas, then on the north by the river Sava to where it is joined by the Kolubara. From this confluence and up to the eastern boundary of the Maritime Banovina (eastern boundary of the district of Konjic, hill 2058 in the Treskavica mountains) the boundary of the Drina Banovina follows the eastern boundaries of the districts of Posava (capital, Obrenovac), Tamnava, Kolubara (capital, Mionica) and Požega, including the district of LjubiÄ. It then follows the eastern boundaries of the districts of Trnava and DragaÄevo, then the southern and western boundaries of the district of Moravica, continuing along the southern boundaries of the districts of Arilje, Zlatibor, ViÅ”egrad, ÄajniÄe, Rogatica, and Sarajevo.
