The largest part of the community area is - despite the community name - sparsely populated, densely forested mountainous area.

Istočno Novo Sarajevo is connected to the eastern part of Istočno Sarajevo around Pale via the R446a road.

history

The districts of today's municipality of Istočno Novo Sarajevo belonged to the community of Novo Sarajevo until the beginning of the Bosnian War in 1992. During the siege of Sarajevo , some of the districts were fiercely contested. After the new community was founded, it was initially called Srpsko Novo Sarajevo (Српскo Ново Сарајево, "Serbian New Sarajevo"). After the Bosnian Constitutional Court banned ethnic references in place names in 2004, the community was given its current name.

population

At the 2013 census, the community had 10,642 inhabitants. 96.3% of them described themselves as Serbs , 1% as Croats and 0.4% as Bosniaks . 2.3% did not belong to any or any other group. Even before the war, the rural parts of the community were almost exclusively inhabited by Serbs.
