National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian: Nacionalna i univerzitetska biblioteka Bosne i Hercegovine / Национална и универзитетска библиотека Босне и Херцеговине) is the national library of Bosnia and Herzegovina based in Sarajevo. During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, during the siege of Sarajevo, in the night from 25th to 26 August 1992, members of the Army of the Republic of Srpska shelled Vijećnica where the library was located at that time. As a result, many of its archival and library holdings were destroyed.
