THE BANATE OF VRBAS

Although the Banate (Province) of Vrbas occupies a central position in Jugoslavia, it is at the same time the threshold and the gate between the East and the West. Its geographical position and historical development gaye it particular distinctions. It is romantic, rich in mines and forests, in game, fish and mineral waters, fresh and interesting from the ethnographical standpoint.
