Petrovac (Cyrillic: Петровац) is a municipality in western Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is situated in the western part of the Republika Srpska entity and the central part of the Bosanska Krajina region. Since it was created from part of the pre-war municipality of Bosanski Petrovac, the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina uses both Bosanski Petrovac[1] and Petrovac as the official municipality names (the other larger part of the pre-war municipality is now in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina entity). Municipality seat is in Drinić.
