TheBosnia Vilayet (Serbo-Croatian: Bosanski vilajet/Vilajet Bosna) was a first-level administrative division (vilayet) of theOttoman Empire, mostly comprising the territory of the present-day state ofBosnia and Herzegovina, with minor parts of modernMontenegro. It borderedKosovo Vilayet to the south. Before the administrative reform in 1867, it was called theBosnia Eyalet. In the late 19th century it reportedly had an area of 46,000 square kilometres (17,900 sq mi).[3]
It effectively ceased to exist as an Ottoman province after theAustro-Hungarian campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878, although it formally existed for thirty more years until 1908, despite being governed byAustria-Hungary. This excludedOld Herzegovina, which was ceded to thePrincipality of Montenegro in 1878. In 1908, during theBosnian Crisis, Austria-Hungary formally annexed it into its own territory.
