Sarajevo

Private swap from Maja_M

Novi Grad is the westernmost of the four municipalities that make up the city of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the 1970s, Sarajevo was undergoing a rapid economic and cultural development, with great expansion focused on population and industry. 92% of  buildings were damaged during the war in 1992-1995 . Novi Grad has since made a fantastic recovery. Although many bullet holes and mortar shell impacts are visible throughout the municipality, it is overall healthy and functioning.

It is a new country in my collection.
