Name
In the former Yugoslavia, the city and the municipality was known as Bosanski Novi. During the Bosnian War the Muslim population (which today largely considers itself Bosniak) and Croat population were expelled or had to leave the city and the epithet Bosanski (meaning "Bosnian") was removed from the name of the city.
According to the Election Law of Bosnia and Herzegovina both names of the city are used, Bosanski Novi and Novi Grad.
