History

The region is north of Sarajevo and local features include the "Romanija Mountains" and "Romanija Planina".

The name comes from the "Romanized" populations called Vlachs, who have used the mountains for pasturage since the Middle Ages.[2]

Only at the end of the 19th century were assimilated the last of these romanised Vlachs, who are connected and related to the population of Serbia's Stari Vlah (meaning: 'historical Vlach') region.

The area is famous for the local music, which was originally created by the Vlach shepherds.[3] Its geographical extent lies within Republika Srpska. Its highest point is Veliki Lupoglav (1,652 m).

Administratively the region was part of the Republika Srpska's region called: Region Sarajevo-Romanija[4] (formerly SAO Romanija).[5]
