Bitola Oblast
Bitola Oblast () was one of the oblasts of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes from 1922 to 1929. Its capital was Bitola, which the oblast was named after. History 
The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was formed in 1918 and was initially divided into counties and districts (this division was inherited from previous state administrations). In 1922, the country was divided into 33 new administrative units known as oblasts (). Before 1922, the territory of the Bitola Oblast was primarily part of the Bitola District. In 1929, the 33 oblasts were administratively replaced with 9 banovinas and one district, and the territory of the Bitola Oblast was incorporated into the new Vardar Banovina. Geography 
Bitola Oblast included most of what is now the Southwestern, Pelagonia, Vardar, and Southeastern Statistical Regions. It shared borders with the Skjope and Bregalnica Oblasts to the north, Albania to the east, Greece to the south, and Bulgaria to the west. Demographics 
According to 1921 census, Bitola Oblast was linguistically dominated by speakers of Bulgarian. Cities and Towns
