Wikipedia: Krajina (337 words)
Krajina is a geographic term which means borderland, akin to the present-day name of the Ukraine.
The Krajina in the Balkans is mostly associated with the Military Frontier (Militär Gränze) which acted as the Austrian cordon sanitaire against the Turks in the Middle Ages.
Almost the entire Croatian population of the region was expelled or fled in a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" for which the Krajina Serb leader, Milan Babic, was convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in January 2004.
