Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo

When presenting archaeological heritage in the city of Sarajevo, two laws need to be considered.

The first one is the so-called Zakon o zaštiti i očuvanju kulturnog, historijskog i prirodnog naslijeđa (Law on the Protection and Preservation of Cultural, Historical and Natural Heritage), adopted in 1985 (with changes made in 1987, 1993, 1994) by the Presidency of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The second law, the Zakon o zaštiti kulturne baštine (Law on protection of cultural heritage), adopted in 2000 by the Assembly of Kanton Sarajevo. In relation to the site of Vranjače, which lies on the border with Srpska krajina region, two more legislative documents need to be considered. The Zakon o kulturnim dobrima (Law of cultural goods) and Zakon o izmjenama i dopunama (Law on Amendments), both adopted by the Assembly of entity Republika Srpska in the years 1995 and 2008, respectively.
