Sarajevo experiences warm summers, with temperatures of 35 °C (95 °F) not being uncommon, and cold winters, when snow is guaranteed due to the city's altitude.
As the center of Canton Sarajevo, the city is also the center of judicial procedures for the area, based on the post-transitional judicial system for the country as outlined by the High Representative and his plans for the “High Judicial and Prosecutorial Councils” of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2002.
Sarajevo is economically one of the strongest regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The siege of Sarajevo was the longest siege in the history of modern warfare.
Sarajevo's metro-area population in 2002 was around 401,000, which was 20,000 less than the population of the city itself in 1991.
With its current growth and reconstruction, Sarajevo may one day in the not so distant future return to its late 1980s form and is clearly on the fast track to recovery, but the scars of the siege of Sarajevo on its history may never fully disappear.
