Krajina

   Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.02 sec.
Kra·ji·na  (kr-n)
A region of southern Croatia bordering on western Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inhabited primarily by ethnic Serbs since the 15th century, the region opposed Croatia's secession from the former Yugoslavia and set up (1990) an autonomous Serbian state. It was retaken by Croatia in 1995, largely displacing the Serbian population.
