Novo Sarajevo (Ново Сарајево,pronounced[nôʋoːsǎrajeʋo];lit. 'New Sarajevo') is a municipality of the city ofSarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina.
LikeNovi Grad, Novo Sarajevo is a product of the city's massive growth and development in the 1960s and 1970s. It is located in the middle of the Sarajevo field, predominantly on the northern bank of theMiljacka, between Novi Grad andCentar.
Prior to the siege, Novo Sarajevo had some 47.6 km2 (41.6% Forest, 17.5% Meadows, 13.5% Commercial/Building Land, 10.4% Grass-land, 8.4% Ploghland, 13.5% Gardens). Following thesiege of Sarajevo, 75% of the lesser populated urban area was transferred toRepublika Srpska (established asIstočno Novo Sarajevo), leaving Novo Sarajevo municipality with 11.43 km2. As a result, Novo Sarajevo has the highest number of people per km2, some 7524.
Novo Sarajevo is known as something of thecommercial andbusiness center of Sarajevo, housing many of the city's majorcompanies andcorporations such asElektroprivreda Bosne i Hercegovine, theUniversity of Sarajevo,UN house Bosnia and Herzegovina and also theHQ of Sparkasse Bank and the Raiffeisen Bank in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
