This article lists the heads of the Sarajevo Canton , the head of the Government of the Sarajevo Canton.

Contents

Until 2002, both the offices of governor and premier existed. However, the office of governor of the Sarajevo Canton was abolished and the office of premier was left as the sole office. The premier is appointed by the Sarajevo Cantonal Assembly. As head of the government, the premier has no authority for appointing ministers, and his role is that of a coordinator. Ministers are appointed in his or her stead by the majority-parties according to ethnic and entity representation rules, so that a deputy minister must not be of same ethnicity as the respective minister. [2]

Nihad Uk is the 16th and current premier of the Sarajevo Canton. He took office on 24 March 2023, following the 2022 general election. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Two schools under one roof</span> Form of ethnic segregation

Two schools under one roof is a term for schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina based on the ethnic segregation of children on the pretext of speaking different languages. Children from two ethnic groups, Bosniaks and Croats, attend classes in the same building, but physically separated from each other and taught separate curricula. Children from one ethnic group enter the school through one door, while children from other ethnic group through another. In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 57 schools operated in this way in the year 2010. Students have been protesting against the segregation for years, warning that it increases inter-ethnic hatred. By 2018, 56 such schools remained. This phenomenon of ethnic separation is attributed to the Croat–Bosniak War (1992–1994) and the creation of Herzeg-Bosnia on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Croatia continues to finance the system of separate Croatian-curriculum public schools in BiH.
