history

The municipality of Pale-Prača consists of the southeastern part of the former municipality of Pale , separated by the Dayton Treaty by the inner-Bosnian border , the larger remaining part of which now belongs to the Republika Srpska . Nine out of 19 towns with a Bosniak majority were spun off from the municipality of Pale.

population

In 1991 there were 2035 inhabitants on the territory of today's municipality, of whom 1346 identified themselves as Bosniaks (66%) and 674 as Serbs (33%). Prača itself was the only place in the municipality of Pale in which the numerical ratio between Serbs and Bosniaks was almost equal, with a slim Serb majority. Of the remaining 10 districts, nine had a Bosniak majority.

At the 2013 census, the municipality had only 1043 inhabitants.

Economy and Infrastructure

Prača is located on the east Bosnian Magistral Road 5 ( Sarajevo - Višegrad ), which in this section is paved and developed only up to Renovica. The road uses the Prača Gorge as a corridor and is rarely used. In the Renovica settlement about 8 km from Prača, an asphalt pass road branches off, which leads via Čemernica to Goražde . The M5, on the other hand, continues as a gravel road towards Ustiprača . The western part of the municipality, located in the higher part of the Jahorina Mountains, is undeveloped; the settlements located there can only be reached via poor roads.
