The barracks "Viktor Bubanj" was a barracks of the JNA in Sarajevo which during the Bosnian war officially as military prison served the Bosnian government forces. It was named after the former chief of staff of the JNA Viktor Bubanj, but at the beginning of the war it was named Ramiz Salčin after a fallen commander of the ARBiH . In the meantime, the building complex in the center of Sarajevo, Kraljice Jelene 88 , has been converted into the seat of the public prosecutor's office and as a remand prison.

Human Rights Watch reports numerous ill-treatment of Bosnian Serbs between 1992 and 1995. The Association of Serb Camp Inmates of the Republika Srpska speaks of over 2,000 civilians who were tortured, ill-treated or killed in the camp. In 2003 a memorial was erected in memory of the victims of the camp.
