Bosansko Krajište is name of administrative unit of the Ottoman Empire established on the part of the Bosnia and Herzegovina during the period between 1392 and 1463 when this part was on the border of the Ottoman Empire, but not under it's firm control.

Etimology

Word krajište is taken from Serbian language (Template:Lang-sr). Krajište was name for administrative unit on the border of Serbian Empire or Serbian Despotate, but only if emperor or despot had not established solid and firm control over such unit, due to raids from hostile neighbouring provinces. When Ottoman Empire in 1392 conquered Skopje, former capitol of Serbian Empire, krajište was established in Western Balkan parts of Ottoman Empire.

History

Ottoman Empire had two administrative units with name Krajište, Skopsko Krajište and Bosansko Krajište. They both were governed by same ruler based in Skopje.

Despite very important victories of Ottoman Empire against regional feudal lords in Battle of Marica (1371) and Battle of Kosovo (1389) Ottoman Army established separate administrative unit in Western Balkan region only in 1392 after capturing Skopje, former capitol of Serbian Empire. In the meantime there were many raids of military units of Ottoman Empire into feudal principalities on Western Balkan, some of them even into territory of today's Bosnia and Herzegovina. Battle of Bileća in 1388 was first battle of army of Ottoman Empire on the territory of today's Bosnia and Herzegovina.

When Ottoman Empire finally conquered whole territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1463, Bosansko Krajište was established as Sanjak of Bosnia.
