Bravo Sarajevo!
ReplyDeleteAs the 3rd biggest agglomeration in former Yugsolavia,
ReplyDeleteSarajevo has a potential of being 3rd busiest airport in Ex Yu,
due to its economic (4th place in Ex Yu) and tourism potential.
However, this and all former managements are destroying the
whole future and the potential which Sarajevo has. Shame on that.
What is the agglomeration of Sarajevo?
DeleteAround 650.000 population which included Canton Sarajevo, East Sarajevo and couple of municipalities outside of that region (Olovo, Vareš, Breza, Visoko, Kiseljak, Kreševo) that are heavily connected and reliant on Sarajevo.
