Istočno Sarajevo ( Serbian - Cyrillic Источно Сарајево ), in German "East Sarajevo" (until 2004 Srpsko Sarajevo for "Serbian Sarajevo"), is a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina . These are the parts of Sarajevo that have been in the Republika Srpska since the Bosnian War , supplemented by some eastern suburban communities. The city was the de jure capital of the Republika Srpska until 2008 - during the war the seat of government was in Pale . However, since 1998 the administrative center of the republic has been in Banja Luka . Around 65,000 people live in the extremely sparsely populated area of ​​Istočno Sarajevo.

The urban area is divided into the municipalities of Istočno Novo Sarajevo , Istočna Ilidža , Istočni Stari Grad , Pale , Trnovo and Sokolac with a total area of ​​over 1400 km².
