Banovina or Banija is a geographical region in central Croatia, between the Sava, Una, Kupa and Glina[1] rivers. The main towns in the region include Petrinja, Glina, Kostajnica, and Dvor. There is no clear geographical border of the region towards the west and the neighboring region of Kordun.[1] The area of Banovina is today administratively almost entirely located within the Sisak-Moslavina County.
