Poljine is a neighborhood in Centar municipality, Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1]

History

During the 1992–1995 Siege of Sarajevo, Serb forces positioned heavy artillery in the area and continually bombed the city below. Several attempts were made by Bosnian Muslim forces to break the siege in Poljine, with varying success.

Today, Poljine is generally considered one of the wealthiest parts of Sarajevo, and is the site of numerous villas and mansions owned by the members of the city's plutocracy.[2]
