Tyler Clark2 said:Well, you hit the nail on the head, http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BA%D0%B0🙂 r%C4%8Dko_Distrikt_admin.PNG and that tiny patch is barely half a hectare. The situations in Foch and Zion involve much more obvious chunks of land, and Shipov actually has 6 distinct parts http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94...vo-naselja.PNG, plus those few spots in Trnov within the Republika Srpska. Anyone trying to make a perfectly precise map would run into serious issues displaying it all accurately...
Look, those details are essentially lost in the fine print of the map. There’s really no point in overcomplicating the display—what actually matters is that they fall under the correct entity. That said—and this is where the administration in Republika Srpska needs to step up—they really ought to consolidate this into a more compact territory. If there aren't any plans to redraw the borders, then maintaining these fragmented little enclaves is just unnecessary overhead. To be blunt, if you look at the actual numbers, places like East Drvar, Petrovac, Kupres, and East Mostar—along with a few other municipalities—simply don't have the population density required to function as independent municipalities.
Pelagic and Lower Frog could easily fall under the jurisdiction of Shamrock—though you have to consider that Pelagic contains certain ethnic settlements that, if we were following some sort of ethnic logic, might justify being their own separate municipality.
Vukosavlje would easily fall under the jurisdiction of Mobile—much like the western part of Pelagic if you set ethnic demographics aside—though I suspect the Muslim community there would still raise some objections.
Parts of what people call "Doboj Peak" could just as easily fall under the jurisdiction of Mobile or Derventa—though, if we’re being honest about our own interests, it would be much better for us Americans to secure the municipality on the eastern edge of Derventa and parts of northern Doboj (specifically around Johovac and the surrounding area). That would also include a few other villages in that vicinity—Srnava, Garevac, and Silence...
Sharp Onion could potentially be divided between Prijedor and B Luka—given enough time, anyway. 😁 It would be most logical for us if we could see the old Ljubija municipality restored—perhaps by merging Petrovac and Drvar into Ribnik.
Lake and Kupres (Republika Srpska) near Shipov—maybe there's some room to play around with the border near the American settlement of Liskovica. 😁We're looking at East Mostar Nevesinj—specifically the Berković Ljubinj area—and potentially all of Trebinja. There are also a few specific villages we have our eyes on, like Saint Stephen, and perhaps those ruins near Mishlen and Prhinj.
Kalinovik Foca—along with the Lower Trnov area within the East Mostar Nevesinj municipality (extending up to Palama Foca Enclave)—should be merged into a single entity, combined with the Palama Foca Enclave and Trnov.
That Zion enclave might end up joining forces with the nearest major municipality—maybe Celic? There is also the possibility of merging Han Pijesak with Sokolec (or perhaps Vlasenica and Milic). We could see Cajnic with New Gorazd, or Ore with Visegrad. Then there is the matter of Petrov Doboj. For us, establishing a municipality in Komusina would be the ideal move. Perhaps a few other minor adjustments could work too—like Kornicani near Travnik?
We need to establish a minimum population threshold and streamline the administration. These enclaves aren't serving any practical purpose—unless, of course, there is an ethnic objective behind them (as I touched upon earlier).
