A city or a living legend? OUR There is hardly anyone who has not heard about Sarajevo at Y least once in their life; about the City that used to send to the whole world the most beautiful and the saddest images and stories that civilization has ever seen. The history of Sarajevo is something that can make many of the world’s largest cities jealous. apture Sarajevo has been the meeting point between the East and the C West for hundreds of years. It is the place where time seems to stand still. Sarajevo has been a symbol of hospitality for centu- ries. Many civilizations and Empires have passed through this city, leaving traces behind that can be found all over the city WILL even today. In just a few hundreds of meters of space in some parts of Sarajevo, Catholic and Orthodox churches, mosques and Jewish synagogues proudly stand side by side. Centuries have passed by and they still stand out, welcoming the trav- that ellers. This is why Sarajevo is often called “the Jerusalem of Europe”. ITY This is just a small part of many magic moments one can experi- C ence in Sarajevo. We would like to invite you to walk into this world that will not leave you indifferent. But remember, once HE you come here, you will be coming back again and again. T 11 12 THE CITY that WILL Capture YOUR Heart!

It is also the capital of the Federation of Bosnia and apture Herzegovina Entity, as well as the administrative centre of the Sara- jevo Canton. Sarajevo is located in the Sarajevo valley, surrounded by C the Dinaric Alps, and situated around the Miljacka River. The city was famous for its traditional religious diversity, with believ- ers of Islam, Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and Judaism living here for WILL centuries. Although the first settlements in the area date back to prehistoric times, the modern city developed as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century. Sarajevo has attracted international attention several times throughout its history: in 1914 it was the site of the assassina- that tion of the Austrian heir to the throne, the event that triggered the Y World War I, while seventy years later it became the host City of the 1984 Winter Olympics. More recently, Sarajevo went through the IT longest siege in the modern military history, during the Bosnian War. Today, the city is recovering and adjusting to a post-war reality, as a C major centre of culture and economic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Interestingly, Sarajevo was also the first city in Europe HE and the second city in the world to have a full-time operational elec- T tric tram network running through the city. 14 15 the siege of sarajevo The Siege of Sarajevo was the longest siege in the history of modern warfare. It took place during the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina between the poorly equipped defending forces of the BiH Government, who had declared independence from Yugoslavia, and the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) and Paramilitary forces formed of the part of Bosnian Serbs who, located on the hills around Sarajevo, besieged the city from April 5th to February 29th 1996.

    Austrian Society for Fortification Research - OeGF Stated Destruction of Austro-Hungarian Fortification around the City of Sarajevo with a Focus on the Objects „Polygon“, „Pašin brdo“ und „Vra[t]ca“. The aim of this report is to give an overview about the very negative development regarding the state of preservation of Austro‐Hungarian fortification around the city of Sarajevo. The site inspection of the forts Polygon, Pasin brdo and Vratca on the 11th respectively 12th of October this year and the disover of evident loss of substance lead the author to write this report. The survey of fort Vraca was done during an excursion that was part of the symposium „Civil‐military Cooperation regarding Cultural Property Protection in Crisis Response and its aftermath“. All the mentioned objects have been surveyed by the author in the year 2011, some of them in 2013 as well. Further on, documentations done by fortification experts from Germany (2018), Slovenia (2014) and the Netherlands (2009/10) could be analysed for this report. Among those three objects only fort Vratca – as part of the „Spomen‐Park Vraca“ ‐ is listed as national monument (BiH).

In fact this type of forts was realized only around this city. It was built between 1888 and 1889 as the first of the four "major girdle‐forts" and formed the northeastern cornerstone of the defensive belt. It is an early example of an armored fortification built by the former Habsburg Monarchy and one of only five forts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which included an armored battery.

  • Part I Belgrade: the City of Spectacle 1 City-As-Action
    Notes Part I Belgrade: The City of Spectacle 1. When the protest was over, Ognjenovic´, a distinguished theatre director and playwright, was forced by the authorities to resign from the position of Artistic Director of the National Theatre. By the mid-1990s, the National Theatre was tightly controlled by cultural officials of Miloševic´’s regime, prompting a few members of the ensemble to leave the theatre in protest.
