Istočna Ilidža Municipality
Summary
The present-day municipality of Istočna Ilidža was separated from the pre-1992 municipality of Ilidža. Today it lies in the Republika Srpska entity.
As part of Ilidža municipality within the larger Sarajevo region, the NOB heritage of present-day Istočna Ilidža municipality was the subject of the 1989 book Spomenici Revolucije Grada Sarajeva, authored by Vesna Mušeta-Aščerić (pp.91-114). Within the boundaries of present-day Istočna Ilidža municipality, a total of 4 monuments were documented as having existed at this time, all of which survive today (albeit with the memorial ossuary in Kasindo having been heavily altered as a result of the theft of its bronze statue in November 2010 and subsequent renovations in 2012). In the process of research, no currently valid documentation produced by municipal authorities could be found that mentions any of these monuments or memorials, or any additional memorials created after 1989.
