• The Department for Urban Planning, Spatial Planning and Environmental Protection of the Municipality of Stari Grad Sarajevo approached the Office for the Protection of Monuments with a request for approval of the conceptual design of the traffic and architectural design of the plateau near the City Hall in the streets of Brodac and Kračula in Sarajevo, which belongs to the scope of the national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina called the Historic Urban Landscape of Sarajevo, to which the protection measures established by the Law on the Implementation of the Decisions of the Commission for the Protection of National Monuments established under Annex 8 of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Upon inspection of the file submitted and the conceptual design, which was prepared in October 2025 by M.Sc. Adnan Alikadić, B.Sc. communication engineer and Deniz Adrović, B.Sc. ing. arch., and through on-site inspection, the Institute notes that the planned interventions relate to the plateau near the City Hall in the streets Brodac and Kračula with the aim of increasing the area for pedestrians and with the aim of creating better conditions for popularizing tourist tours of the old city core. The institute believes that the city of Sarajevo needs organized and defined spaces, especially in the city core itself, and in this context it agrees with the concept and idea. However, this conceptual solution completely ignores the environment in which the intervention takes place, the immediate vicinity of the national monument of the City Hall, with an unrealistically presented environment through 3D renderings, which results in a wrong solution in terms of design and materialization on the plateaus in Brodac Street and Kračule Street. At the same time, the plateau in Kračule Street was treated in the project only through sketches of the situation and the basics of the plateau, without visualization renders. Accordingly, the Institute considers that approval cannot be issued until the conceptual design is corrected in accordance with the Institute’s suggestions. The investor undertakes to submit the corrected conceptual design of the traffic and architectural design of the plateau to the Institute for inspection and approval.

• On 5 February 2026, the Institute for the Protection of Monuments carried out expert conservation supervision over the ongoing maintenance work on the roof structure of the Svrzina House, namely on building B (Older Women’s House) and building C (Men’s House) in Sarajevo. The representatives of the Institute visited the building with a representative of the contractor and noted that the work on covering the building with a new covering (tiling) was done with quality and speed, regardless of very bad weather conditions, snow and frost, and fully in accordance with the regulations and rules of the profession for work on national monuments. After the covering works have been completed, the contractor will proceed with the protection of the wooden surfaces of the eaves of the rafters and horseshoes, as well as the wooden elements of the chamber with the fence, posts and saddles. The contractor’s attention was drawn to the fact that it is necessary (which is an integral part of the preliminary measurements) to thoroughly clean, sand and prepare all wooden surfaces for re-protection. The shade of the final layer was selected according to the provided tone card. It was decided that the tone of the coating corresponds to the tone of the ebony, i.e. for a darker tone. For the next inspection, it was agreed that the contractor would purchase the selected mixture and apply it to a couple of squares of the eaves in order to leave the possibility of reacting if the selected tone does not match the complete facade of the building. During the next inspection, carried out on 13 February 2026, it was established that the contractor had complied with the agreement from the previous inspection and had done test painting on the eaves of the building as seen from the courtyard. After visiting the painted surfaces, it was agreed with the contractor that he can finish all the wooden elements of the eaves with the selected tone, and that a lighter tone should be chosen for the camera elements, and this will be the subject of the next professional conservation inspection.

• On 16 February 2026, the Institute for the Protection of Monuments carried out expert supervision of ongoing maintenance works at the national monument of Semiz Ali Pasha’s turbe in Prača.
  Representatives of the Institute visited the facility with a representative of the daily supervision company SENDO d.o.o. from Sarajevo, as a representative of the contractor, “NEIMARI” d.o.o. from Sarajevo and representatives of the Municipality of Prača.

The municipality of Prača provided part of the funds through the Federal Ministry of Spatial Planning, and part from the budget of Medžilis from Sarajevo, and the funds were combined with the intention of being implemented in the III. phase of the works, for which works on the plastering of the interior of the turbet, i.e. the dome and walls, the replacement of stone shutters on the upper windows, as well as the installation of new windows and new entrance doors are planned. The contractor will carefully carry out the work on the replacement and installation of new stone window sills made of tenelia stone. The attention of the contractor was drawn to make a new iron frame with “apples”, following the example of the existing one, and to additionally paint all three in an anthracite matte color. Considering that several layers of plaster with certain motifs were found on the building, it was agreed to keep the first layer of lime plaster around the entrance door, where there was the most of it, and which will be presented as a valuable layer since it represents the original. Both stone cornices will be kept in their original condition during plastering, and only insufficient stone parts will be replaced, while the rest will be thoroughly cleaned under water pressure and re-grouted. In places where a small piece of stone is missing, the stone conservator will replace it, using known conservation methods. After all the listed works, the existing concrete floor will be replaced with stone on the upper side, finely chipped and with knocked down edges, and the size will be agreed upon later.

As for the exterior of the turbet, a new stone harem wall will be built in the existing dimensions, built with two faces, and built with a seam in such a way that the joints do not overlap. The approach to the turbet will be made of rougher hewn stone with broken edges (look like Sarači Street in Sarajevo). A stone cap will be placed above the wall for water drainage. The stone for the driveway will be laid in sand and filled with epoxy grout for durability, given that it is a building located in a mountainous environment. It is planned to complete the mentioned works within 30 working days.

• The Office for Urban Planning, Spatial Planning and Environmental Protection of the Municipality of Stari Grad Sarajevo approached the Institute for the Protection of Monuments with a request from “BS CONSULTING” d.o.o. from Sarajevo, for the issuance of consent for placing one horizontal (double-sided) illuminated advertisement on the flat roof above the entrance portal and one vertical non-illuminated advertisement to the left in relation to the entrance to the branch, and one horizontal illuminated advertisement with an inscription and the company logo (in three segments) on the final cornice of the building’s facade canvas in Vladimira Skarića Street 3 in Sarajevo. The object in question belongs to the scope of the national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina called Historical Urban Landscape of Sarajevo, which is subject to protection measures established by the Law on the Implementation of Decisions of the Commission for the Protection of National Monuments established under Annex 8 of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  By inspecting the submitted file and photos and by inspecting the site, the Institute concludes that from the aspect of protecting the cultural and historical heritage of the inner core of Baščaršija, it can allow the existence of two advertisements on the said building. It is about advertising on the flat roof above the entrance portal and advertising to the left of the entrance to the office, which with their materialization, position and size do not disturb the visual identity of the surrounding space. Consequently, the Institute considers that it can issue consent to the placement of these two advertisements. The third horizontal illuminated advertisement with the company’s inscription and logo (in three segments) on the final cornice of the facade fabric of the building is excluded from the aforementioned consent, because in the opinion of the Institute, its position and materialization disrupts the visual identity of the surrounding space.
• The Department for Spatial Planning and Investments of the Municipality of Centar Sarajevo addressed the Institute for the Protection of Monuments with the request of “KAMAL” d.o.o. from Sarajevo, for the issuance of a certificate for the ongoing maintenance of business premises in the building at Mis Irbina Street 26 in Sarajevo, which belongs to the scope of the national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina called Historical Urban Landscape of Sarajevo, to which the protection measures established by the Law on the Implementation of the Decisions of the Commission for the Protection of National Monuments established under Annex 8 of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina are applied. Upon inspection of the submitted file, the Institute notes that the requested confirmation is that it is ongoing maintenance work, and not consent for the performance of ongoing maintenance work. In accordance with the above, the Institute returns the case to the Municipality for renaming, with the suggestion that an integral part of the file be the Technical Description, which defines the scope and character of the works on the object in question at 26 Mis Irbina Street in Sarajevo.
