The Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia (Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian: Autonomna Pokrajina Zapadna Bosna / Аутономна Покрајина Западна Босна) was a small unrecognized province that existed in the northwest of Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1993 and 1995. It consisted of the town of Velika Kladuša (its capital) and a few nearby villages. It was proclaimed as a result of secessionist politics by Fikret Abdić against the Bosnian central government during the Bosnian War.
