Political units which had Krajina in their names are:

• Military Krajina (Military Frontier, Militärgrenze), borderland of Austria against the Ottoman Empire. It was divided into:
  • Banat Krajina (on the Serbian-Romanian border)
  • Slavonian Krajina (on the border of Vojvodina and Eastern Croatia towards Bosnia)
  • Croatian Krajina (on the border of Western Croatia and Bosnia)

• Republic of Serbian Krajina, formed in the areas of former Slavonian and Croatian Krajina during the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s.
