Today, the museum journal “Contributions to the Study of the History of Sarajevo,” issue no. 11, was promoted at the Brusa Bezistan. The presenters—Director of the Museum of Sarajevo Indira Kučuk Sorguč, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Edin Veletovac, Executive Editor Dženana Kurtović, Prof. Dr. Amra Šačić Beća, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Edin Urijan Kukavica—introduced the audience, through an exceptionally rich and inspiring presentation, to the significance of this edition, as well as its role in the continuous research of Sarajevo’s rich history.
The presenters placed special emphasis on the published papers, highlighting their scholarly contribution and the diversity of topics covering various historical periods and academic disciplines—from ancient history and archaeology to art history and geography. It was noted that these works not only deepen existing knowledge but also open new research questions, thereby making a significant contribution to the study of the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina and strengthening domestic scholarly production.
In her address, Prof. Dr. Amra Šačić Beća also announced future projects of the Museum of Sarajevo, aimed at strengthening research activities and developing new academic content, which will further enhance the Museum’s role as an important meeting place for scholarship, research, and the preservation of cultural and historical heritage. The professor also announced an upcoming scientific conference organized in partnership between the Museum of Sarajevo, the Department of History, and the Center for Historical Research of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Sarajevo, to be held on April 27, 2026, titled “The Area of Present-Day Sarajevo in Antiquity.”
The authors of the original scientific, professional, and review papers are: Mirha Šabanović, Adnan Kaljanac, Amra Šačić Beća, Salmedin Mesihović, Amre Banda, Muniba Osmanović, Belma Durmišević, Emina Ajanović, Zijad Šehić, and Jesenko Hadžihasanović.
We are particularly pleased that there is a clear vision for “Contributions to the Study of the History of Sarajevo” to become a regular annual publication in the coming period, and we sincerely hope that the long-term goal will also be achieved—indexing the journal in the most prominent international databases, thereby further ensuring its visibility and importance within academic circles.
We would like to thank all authors, reviewers, editors, as well as everyone who attended today’s promotion and supported this important project.
