Miljacka

A metal sculpture named Kentauromahia was transported on a tram through Sarajevo on Wednesday as part of an artistic performance designed to remind the inhabitants of the Bosnian capital of a traumatic event at the start of the years-long Bosnian Serb siege of the city.

Vanja Lasic, manager of Kriterion, a small venue on the river Miljacka in Sarajevo, isn't too happy about having several security officials posted at the entrance of her club. "They kind of spoil the good atmosphere of the event," she says. "Still, I understand that unfortunately their presence is necessary."

The concert by the Vienna Philharmonic in the recently re-opened Vijecnica, the historic Sarajevo City Hall, was the central event to mark the centenary of the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Bosnian Serb Gavrilo Princip on June 28, 1914.

Few hundred people could follow the the concert in a plateau on the other side of the river of Miljacka.
