Quoting Wikiupedia:

Dobretići (prior to the Bosnian war, also known as Dobratići) is a village and municipality in central Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is one of the youngest and smallest municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina hence being one of the poorest municipalities as well. Before the Bosnian War municipality of Dobretići was part of the municipality of Skender Vakuf (today Kneževo).

Aleksandar Nemet, 19 May 2012

The municipality of Dobretići (1,629 inhabitants in 2013, 228 in the village of Dobretići; 5,900 ha) is located on the border with Republika Srpska, 20 km north-west of Jajce.
One of the youngest municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dobretići was established in 1998, separating from the former municipality of Skender Vakuf (now Kneževo, Republika Srpska). Originally known as Dobratići, the place was renamed to Dobretić, after the medieval ruler Stjepan Dobreta.
