[2] Although the new Vidovdan Constitution foresaw the division of the country into oblasts, the new state established the Regional Administration that governed Bosnia and Herzegovina.

[3] On 26 April 1922, the Law on Regional and Districtorial Self-Administration was adopted to implement the constitutional division of the country into oblasts.

By the new law, the name of the country was changed to Yugoslavia, while the administrative rule was exercised through banovinas, srezs and municipalities (Serbo-Croatian: općina).

The People's Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was then divided into four oblasts – Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka and Tuzla.

[14] In mid 1955, another law, the Act on the Territory of the Srezs and Municipalities in the People's Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was enacted.

From then, Bosnia and Herzegovina was divided into 15 srezs – Banja Luka, Bihać, Brčko, Derventa, Doboj, Goražde, Jajce, Livno, Mostar, Prijedor, Sarajevo, Trebinje, Tuzla, Zenica and Zvornik.

[16] In 1968, the act was changed again, and Bosnia and Herzegovina was divided into 6 srezs – Banja Luka, Bihać, Doboj, Mostar, Sarajevo and Tuzla.
