Republika Srpska

_This page is not to be confused with the page of Republika Srbija which redirects to Serbia_
**Republika Srpska** (Serbo-Croatian: **Република Српска** / Republika Srpska) is one of the two parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina.  The other part is the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and there is also a special city that is not in either, the Brčko District. It is located in Southeastern Europe, more precisely in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula. The largest city is Banja Luka and is the seat of most of the institutions of the Republika Srpska, as well as its political, administrative, economic and university center. Srpska shares a state border with the Republic of Serbia, Montenegro and the Republic of Croatia, and the inter-entity demarcation line with the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Srpska was created due to the Bosnian War.
