Istočni Mostar ( Serbian - Cyrillic Источни Мостар ), previously Srpski Mostar (Српски Мостар) is an Opština (union community) in the southern part of the Republika Srpska in Herzegovina . The municipality was created when the districts east of the Velež mountain range were separated from Mostar as a result of the 1995 Dayton Treaty .
The name translates into German as "East Mostar", but should not be confused with the East Mostar district in Mostar itself. The name Srpski Mostar (Serbian Mostar), which the municipality carried until 2004, was banned by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina due to its ethnic reference.
Geography and infrastructure
The municipality consists of three spatially separated areas: In the north the largest and most populous Zijemlje (187 inhabitants in 2013) with the administrative center and the two exclaves Kamena (67 inh.) And Kokorina (3 in.) Further south.
The district of Zijemlje is located 17 kilometers northeast of the city center of Mostar in Vilino polje , but is separated from the city by the almost 2000 m high Velež mountain range and cannot be reached via paved roads.
There is no school in the community; the children attend school in Nevesinje, 30 kilometers away .
population
In 1991 the district of Zijemlje had 153 inhabitants, 95 of whom referred to themselves as Serbs and 57 as Bosniaks.
Since the local elections on October 7, 2012, seven representatives of the SDS , three of the DP and one representative of the SDA have been on the municipal council .
