Ambassadors' Alley (Bosnian:Aleja Ambasadora) is alinden tree alley located at the popular pedestrian stretch Bentbaša-Dariva along the riverMiljacka inSarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a project in whichambassadors, serving in Bosnia and Herzegovina as high officials of their representative countries or major international organizations, get an opportunity to plant a linden tree during their mission and in front of every planted linden tree, a stone plate is installed containing the ambassador's name, country or international organization that represents.[1]
As of January 2025, the full number of planted trees and placed stone plates is 238.[2]
Ambassadors' Alley was established in 2002 and the firstlinden tree was planted by the former High RepresentativeWolfgang Petritsch, and the second one byJacques Paul Klein, the former Head of theUnited Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1]
After planting, project participants are presented with certificates.[3]
Since the plaques with the names of the ambassadors are a constant target of vandals, in 2018 the reconstruction of public lighting was done, as well as the installation of lighting under the boards with the names of the ambassadors.[4]
