More About Sarajevo:
The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been at the center of major historical events, namely the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 and the horrors of a four-year civil war that played out until 1995. Today, however, Sarajevo is the political, social, and cultural center of the country, known for its celebration of peaceful religious coexistence.
