Divided Sarajevo city strives to reintegrate
The prospect of hosting the 2017 European Olympic Youth Festival has prompted talk about how to work together.
Published On 6 Apr 2013
In four years both parts of the divided city of Sarajevo will be hosting the European Olympic Youth Festival.
Bosnia and Hercegovina comprises two parts – the Muslim-Croat Federation, with Sarajevo its capital, and the mainly Serb Republika Srpska, whose official capital is East Sarajevo.
Both city administrations say they hope co-operating over sports can have wider implications.
At the moment one of the main things the two sides share is scars of the civil war.
