| General Description : | Serie: 177, Type: R, Stamps in serie: 6 Glina is a small town in the heart of Banovina, in the broad valley where the river Maja joins the Glina; on the crossroads to Sisak, Karlovac. Glina was first mentioned in the deed of Andrew II of 1205 when it was situated a few kilometres downstream from the present site. The Zagreb bishopric documents first mention Glina in 1284. From 1563 the whole area became the target of Turkish conquests. After the Turkish defeat at Sisak, the Turks were pushed to the Una. There is no mention of Glina after that until 1737 when the Croatian Parliament met in the settlement on the site of the present Glina. Glina became the military and cultural centre of Banovina (Military Cordon) until it was abolished in 1873. Glina was not spared in the Serbian claims of Croatian territory. The occupation of the town in 1991 was the climax of the sufferings and persecution of the Croats in Glina. The Croatian army and polices forces liberated Glina in the action "Tempest" on August 6, 1995. |
