Travnik Oblast ( sh, Травник област, translit=Travnik Oblast) was one of the
oblasts of the
Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes from 1922 to 1929. Its administrative center was
Travnik.
History
The
Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was formed in 1918 and was initially divided into counties and districts (this division was inherited from previous state administrations). In 1922, new administrative units known as oblasts (Serbo-Croatian: ''oblasti'' / области) were introduced and the whole country was divided into 33 oblasts. Before 1922, the territory of the Travnik Oblast was primarily part of the
Travnik District.
In 1929, the 33 oblasts were administratively replaced with 9 banovinas and one district, and the territory of the Travnik Oblast was administratively split between the
Vrbas Banovina and the
Littoral Banovina.
