History

Bosnian War

During the Bosnian Civil War, the Republika Srpska used Jahorina as a military base during their 3-year long siege of Sarajevo.[2][3] The Special Police Brigade established a "special police training centre" on the area's grounds. Many of the Jahorina Centre's officers were later arrested for their involvement in the Srebrenica massacre,[4][5] especially during one of the massacre's last phases, the Kravica massacre.[6]

21st century

In 2021, Bosnian Serb political leader, Milorad Dodik, was reported to have carried out "anti-terrorism" drills in the area on behalf of the Republika Srpska, sparking controversy.[2] Critics accused Dodik of threatening Bosnia's stability, while his supporters argued it was legal. The operation occurred during a political crisis in Bosnia, leading to Dodik responding that the blueprint for the drills had begun years before, claiming it had nothing to do with Bosnia's political tensions.[3]

Ski resort

The Jahorina ski resort is situated on the slopes of Jahorina. It is the largest and the most popular ski resort in Bosnia and Herzegovina, being a popular destination for alpine skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and sledding.^{[citation needed]}

Landmine risk

Jahorina was an area of major strategic importance during the Bosnian war. Some areas of the mountain, including areas near the resort, still contain land mines.[7] Extensive de-mining activities have taken place after the war.^{[citation needed]} Skiing in borders of Jahorina ski resort is safe from mines[8] and out-of-bounds areas are marked by skull-and-crossbones signs.[9] Some off-course slopes were mined during the war and many remain risky.[10] On October 30, 2011, a Slovenian paraglider was critically injured on Mount Jahorina when he landed in a minefield by mistake.[11][12][13]
