history

The city of Novi Travnik was founded in 1949 and initially named after Đuro Pucar Stari Pucarevo . It was considered one of the youngest cities in socialist Yugoslavia .

In 1950 the armaments company Bratstvo BNT was built, which delivered all over the country and also to large parts of the world. As the Bratstvo BNT company grew and the demand for workers increased, workers from all parts of Yugoslavia were settled in the city. Sometimes foreigners also lived there. The city was characterized by a low average age, which is where the nickname "City of Youth" came from.

After the Bosnian War , the city was de facto divided into a Muslim and a Catholic district. In 1997 these limits were officially lifted. Only some of the residents returned.
