[edit] Geography
The municipality is close to Doboj and Gračanica just a half way between Doboj and Tuzla. It is located on the mountain Ozren.
[edit] History
The municipality was formed by Bosnian Serb authorities during the war. Bosnian government never recognised this decision and officially municipality was created after the signing of the Dayton Agreement. Bosnian serb authorities also changed the name of the municipality to Petrovo from Bosansko Petrovo Selo. The municipality existed before, however, was dismantled in the 1960s. It belonged to Gračanica and Lukavac as well. Now it is one of the poorest municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
