Summary/Abstract: Sarajevo is the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina (and of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina entity). As such, Sarajevo is the leading political, social and cultural centre, as well as historically famous for its religious diversity (Islam, Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Judaism) and therefore called “Jerusalem of the Europe”. The city has developed under the Ottoman Empire (in 15th century). Sarajevo is well known all over the world as the place of the assassination of the Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand that caused World War I. In 1984 it hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics.
