History[edit]
The settlement has existed sinceRomantimes. It was conquered by theOttoman Empiresomewhere between 1520 and 1530. From 1929 to 1941, Bosanski Petrovac was part of theVrbas Banovinaof theKingdom of Yugoslavia.During the Second World War, it was a Partisan stronghold which was conveniently located close to MarshalJosip Broz Tito's headquarters in Drvar. On 6 December 1942 theWomen's Antifascist Front of Yugoslaviawas established in the town.[2]
During the 1992–95Bosnian War,the town'sSerbmajority remained in the city while theBosniaksandCroatswere forced to leave their homes. Then in 1995, as the war was nearing its end, theArmy of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovinaseized Bosanski Petrovac and it remained in Bosnian hands until the end of the war.[3]In the following years, the Serbs' right to return would be hindered. However, the town would eventually return to its pre-war ethnic composition.
