So what was decided on this?
Rudi has sent me some xeroxes of maps, and I looked at our map holdings. 
WW2 1:100,000 maps of Yugoslavia show Sastavci and all the land east of it 
to the Lim River as belonging to Bosnia. The 1:250,000 maps did not show 
the republic boundaries.
"Current" Russian 1:200,000 maps do not show the republic boundaries 
either, but there is a small administrative inset in the corner of the map 
sheet showing which bits of the map belong to which administrative unit. No 
enclaves are shown here, which I would expect them to, even for a small 
enclave.
A very nice map called
"The Times map of the Western Balkans" [map] / c[opyright] Naklada C.
Published [London] : Times Books, c1993.
shows the enclave distinctly. The map is 1:1,000,000 scale. and even the 
1:3,500,000 ethnographic inset shows the enclave.
Apart from tourist maps, whose boundary information is always suspect, has 
anyone seen any official maps (from any country) showing the enclave???
So, does it still exist, and when was it formed? Certainly post WW2....
