The first such association was formed around the town of [[Knin]] leading to the establishment of [[SAO Krajina]] on 21 December 1990. [[SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia]] was formed on 25 June 1991 while [[SAO Western Slavonia]] was formed on 12 August 1991. On 19 December 1991, the SAO Krajina proclaimed itself the [[Republic of Serbian Krajina]] with SAO Western Slavonia and SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia joining it subsequently. At that stage the self-proclaimed autonomy was transformed into request for full independence with political leadership subsequently rejecting any autonomy proposal with notable case including [[Z-4 Plan]]. At the same time both the [[Government of Croatia]] and international mediators now contemplated peace settlements that would indeed include the establishment of some sort of predominantly Serb autonomous regions within Croatia. With the creation of new [[Counties of Croatia|Croatian counties]] on 30 December 1992, the Croatian government also set aside two autonomous regions (''kotar'') for ethnic Serbs in the areas of Krajina known as the [[Autonomous District of Glina]] and [[Autonomous District of Knin]].<ref>{{cite journal | url = http://narodne-novine.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeni/1992_06_34_896.html | language = hr | title = Ustavni zakon o ljudskim pravima i slobodama i pravima etničkih i nacionalnih zajednica ili manjina u Republici Hrvatskoj | author = [[Parliament of Croatia]] | journal = [[Narodne novine]] | issue = 34/92 | location = Zagreb | date = 3 June 1992 | access-date = 7 August 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150120212522/http://narodne-novine.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeni/1992_06_34_896.html | archive-date = 20 January 2015 | url-status = live }}</ref> After [[Operation Storm]], the application of the law which allowed autonomy would be temporarily suspended.<ref>{{cite journal | url = http://narodne-novine.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeni/1995_09_68_1192.html | language = hr | title = Ustavni zakon o privremenom neprimjenjivanju pojedinih odredbi Ustavnog zakona o ljudskim pravima i slobodama i o pravima etničkih i nacionalnih zajednica ili manjina u Republici Hrvatskoj | author = [[Parliament of Croatia]] | journal = [[Narodne novine]] | issue = 68/95 | date = 21 September 1995 | access-date = 7 August 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140917103436/http://narodne-novine.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeni/1995_09_68_1192.html | archive-date = 17 September 2014 | url-status = live }}</ref> In 2000 this part of the law was formally repealed.<ref>{{cite journal | url = http://narodne-novine.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeni/2000_05_51_1127.html | language = hr | title = Ustavni zakon o izmjenama i dopunama Ustavnog zakona o ljudskim pravima i slobodama i o pravima etničkih i nacionalnih zajednica ili manjina u Republici Hrvatskoj | author = [[Parliament of Croatia]] | journal = [[Narodne novine]] | issue = 51/2000 | date = 19 May 2000 | access-date = 7 August 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150120212647/http://narodne-novine.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeni/2000_05_51_1127.html | archive-date = 20 January 2015 | url-status = live }}</ref>

The process of creation of the self-proclaimed Serb Autonomous Regions in Croatia included inter-ethnic clashes and violence as well as widespread [[ethnic cleansing]] of non-Serb population from the areas that those regions ended up controlling. Some of the highest ranking political and military leaders involved in this process were prosecuted by the [[International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia]] for their direct or command responsibility for a number of [[war crimes]] committed. In the effort to preserve the peace in the region [[European Community]] limited the recognition of post-Yugoslav entities exclusively to previously established Yugoslav federal units (republics) in their administrative borders and explicitly discouraged it in case of any new secessionist region while at the same time it conditioned recognition of republics with credible minority rights guarantees.<ref name="SIOUSSIOURAS">{{cite journal |last=Sioussiouras |first=Petros |date=2004 |title=The Prosess of Recognition of the Newly Independent States of Former Yugoslavia by the European Community: The Case of the Former Socialist Republic of Macedonia |journal=[[Journal of Political & Military Sociology]] |volume=32 |issue=1 |pages=1–18 |jstor=45371632 |url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/45371632 }}</ref> Serb Autonomous Regions in Croatia therefore failed to ever gain any formal international recognition.
