TheBosnia Vilayet (Serbo-Croatian:Bosanski vilajet / Босански вилајет;Ottoman Turkish: ولايت بوسنی,Vilâyet-i 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 andSerbia.
It was formed in 1867 following the administrative reforms of theTanzimat period, which transformed the formerBosnia Eyalet into a vilayet. It effectively ceased to exist as an Ottoman-administered province after theAustro-Hungarian campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878, though it formally remained part of the Ottoman Empire for thirty more years until 1908. During this period, it was governed byAustria-Hungary as acondominium. In 1908, during theBosnian Crisis, Austria-Hungary formally annexed the territory.
