FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, October 19 (FENA) - This is another historic day for the City of Sarajevo. The Bistrik Railway Station is the only station from the Austro-Hungarian period, it is a cultural and historical building and as such, it is a national monument of BiH. We are obliged to restore its representative appearance and proudly present it as a future museum and tourist attraction of the city. I am happy that we are working on projects that will be a place of meeting and new memories, said Mayor of Sarajevo Abdulah Skaka, on the occasion of the official start of work on the renovation, restoration and reconstruction of this national monument.

Thanks to the activities of the city administration led by Mayor Skaka, the initiative for the Bistrik station to become a museum becomes a reality after 42 years.

Sarajevo architect Mufid Garibija said that the Bistrik station was built in the Alpine style and that it was the most expensive railway ever built in this area.

Its beauty was shown in the film "Valter defends Sarajevo" in 1972 directed by Šiba Krvavac, where some of the key scenes took place right at and around the Bistrik station.

The City of Sarajevo will restore the authentic appearance of the building, which will open its doors and present its rich cultural and historical value, announced the Press Service of the City of Sarajevo.
