Institute for the Monuments’ Protection: Report on the inspection of the condition of the auxiliary building within the construction complex Konak in Sarajevo and the building at Hamdije Kreševljakovića Street 98A

The Office for the Joint Affairs of the Institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina approached the Institute for the Protection of Monuments with a request for the issuance of an expert opinion for the ongoing maintenance of an auxiliary building within the construction complex Konak in Sarajevo.

The object in question is located within the Construction Complex Konak in Sarajevo, declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Decision of the Commission for the Preservation of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The National Monument consists of the residence Konak with movable heritage, an auxiliary building and a park.

The project documentation envisages work on the replacement of the roof covering with substructure, work on the facade, replacement of all horizontal sheet metal flashings and gutters, replacement of the existing wooden joinery modeled after the original, interior painting, installation of gypsum partition walls and replacement of worn-out installations.

On 11 November 2026, an inspection of the condition of the building in question was carried out and it was concluded that the planned works are justified and can be considered ongoing maintenance works. The designer’s attention will be drawn to the obligation to carefully select the position of the outdoor air conditioning unit, since installation on the facade of the building is not allowed because it spoils the appearance of the building.

On the same day, an inspection was also carried out of the facility at 98 A Hamdije Kreševljakovića Street, for which the Institute for Medical Expertise requested an expert opinion for the installation of a new connection to the water supply network. It was established that the works in question can be considered ongoing maintenance works and that there are no obstacles to their execution.
