Destroyed houses in Trnovo in October 1996

The administrative division of Trnovo: blue = FBiH, red = RS

During the Bosnian War , the area of the Trnovo municipality was fought over. On the one hand, the army of the Republika Srpska used the M18 coming from the south during the siege of Sarajevo as a supply route for their troops in the main combat areas on the Igman and Jahorina ; on the other hand, the domination of the Trnovo valley meant the control of the southern access to Sarajevo.

From May to July 1992 the VRS held the place before it was captured by the ARBiH after heavy fighting . In the summer of 1993, the Serbian armed forces were able to recapture parts of it. After the end of the war, all places in the municipality were largely destroyed.
