Sandžak

Also known as Sanjak of Novi Pazar

Sandžak is a historical region on the border of Serbia and Montenegro, named after the Ottoman Sanjak of Novi Pazar. Its main towns include Novi Pazar, Pljevlja and Bijelo Polje, and much of its population is Bosniak Muslim. Austria-Hungary garrisoned part of it from 1878 to 1908, and in 1912 it was divided between Serbia and Montenegro.
