The Institute for the Monuments’ Protection was addressed by the Department for Urbanism, Spatial Planning and Environmental Protection of the Municipality of Stari Grad Sarajevo with a request of the company “BROJLER” d.o.o. from Sarajevo, requesting approval to place an advertising sticker on the facade of a building at Mula Mustafa Bašeskije Street 10 in Sarajevo.

The subject building is located at Mula Mustafa Bašeskije Street 10 and falls within the scope of the national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina entitled Historic Urban Landscape of Sarajevo («Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina», 1/21 and 10/21), to which protective measures are applied as set out in the Act 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.

Upon review of the submitted file, which included the Conceptual Design of the advertising sticker, prepared by “Sanat Studio” d.o.o. from Sarajevo, and upon inspection on site, the Institute concludes that the proposed advertisement has already been placed in the dimensions and materialization given in the Conceptual Design and that as such it visually fits into the existing appearance of the glass portal.

Accordingly, the Institute agrees with the appearance of the advertising sticker and believes that approval can be given.

This expert opinion relates to the aspect of cultural and historical heritage and is valid until the expiration of the deadline set by the Municipality or until the adoption of the Ordinance with guidelines for placing advertisements in the Historic Urban Landscape of Sarajevo. The investor is obliged to settle all contractual obligations to the competent service of the Municipality of Stari Grad Sarajevo.

The Institute for the Monuments’ Protection was addressed by the Department for Urbanism, Spatial Planning and Environmental Protection of the Municipality of Stari Grad Sarajevo with a request of “INTERESSERENINGEN” d.o.o. from Sarajevo for the issuance of a permit for the installation of air conditioning units on the facade of a building located at Jelićeva 2 in Sarajevo.

The subject building is located at Jelićeva 2 and falls within the scope of the national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina entitled Historic Urban Landscape of Sarajevo («Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina», 1/21 and 10/21), to which protective measures are applied as set out in the Act 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.

The Institute was provided with a photograph of the street facade without the position of the planned air conditioning unit. Given that this is a building located in the city centre itself and which falls within the scope of the national monument called the Historic Urban Landscape of Sarajevo, to which the decisions of the Monument Preservation Commission apply, installing an air conditioning unit on the facade of the building at Jelićeva 2 is not acceptable from the perspective of preserving the national monuments.

The Institute suggests that the applicant supplements the application with the necessary documentation, as a part of which the designer will propose a technical solution for installing an air conditioning unit on the roof of the building or, if possible, on the courtyard facade of the building.

Upon review of the submitted file, which includes photographs of the entrance facade with six advertisements and the technical drawings of the advertisements made by the Design House “ABM-INVEST” d.o.o. from Sarajevo in May 2025, the Institute concludes that six air conditioners have already been installed on the street facade.
