Srpska Krajina (Croatia)
editAfter Croatia declared itself independent of Yugoslavia in 1991, Croatian Serbs in Krajina, Western Slavonia and Eastern Slavonia proclaimed their allegiance to Yugoslavia and formed the Republic of Srpska Krajina under UN protection. Elections for a president and parliament were held in January 1994.
In 1995, the Republic of Croatia began to recover the Serb territories. Krajina and Western Slavonia were incorporated back into Croatia that year while Eastern Slavonia was placed under UN administration and called Sremsko Baranjska Oblast (Srem and Baranya Region).
Stamps were issued soon after Srpska Krajina was proclaimed and continued until the Croatian recovery of Krajina. Later issues were made by Sremsko Baranjska Oblast (q.v.).
