Osat, Historical oblast in central Podrinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Osat is a historical region in central Podrinje situated between Višegrad and Srebrenica. It encompasses parts of Bratunac and Srebrenica municipalities, containing villages such as Blažijevići, Boljevići, Božići, and Bujakovići.
The region functioned as a county within the Serbian Despotate from 1402 to 1459 before falling under Ottoman control. Following conquest, it was integrated into the Sanjak of Zvornik.
The region contains several villages where Orthodox Christians and Muslims live side by side, each maintaining their own customs and traditions. Visitors can observe how different religious communities shape daily life and the character of the landscape.
The territory is accessible via main roads connecting Višegrad and Srebrenica, making it relatively easy to reach. Travel is most comfortable during warmer months when road conditions are generally better.
A village in the region was the birthplace of Kara-Marko Vasić, a leader involved in the temporary liberation of the territory during the First Serbian Uprising in the early 1800s. This moment remains part of local memory and storytelling.
