Ilijaš (Serbian Cyrillic: Илијаш) is a town and municipality located in Sarajevo Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, an entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located northwest of the inner city of Sarajevo, making it de facto a town and suburb of Sarajevo. The Ilijaš Municipality was established in May 1952 with the organization of people's committees. Those local people's committees founded the local municipalities, which led to the self-management of the municipalities, including the municipality of Ilijaš.[2]
History
[edit]In the early Middle Ages close to the river Bosna and Vogoščica, the district Vogošća, or Vidogošća, was formed. Some later events that are tied to the Ottoman period came to the formation of džemats, nahiyahs, and sanjaks. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, there were 20 džemats in the Sarajevo Nahiyah: Butmir, Kijevo, Presjenica, Sudići, Trnovo, Zijamet Crna Rijeka, Pale, Mokro with Bobogovićima, Kriva Rijeka, Srednje, Čifluk Crna Rijeka, Rakova Noga, Vogošća, Nahorevo, Kulijes, Rakovica, Hadžići, Drozgometva, Pazarić and the villages of Luka and Žeravica.
The occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Austro-Hungarian Empire led to many changes which manifested in administrative and political changes. The territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina was divided into districts and further divided into counties. The counties were divided into municipalities, instead of džemats, and they were furthermore divided into mahallahs and hamlets while the functions of the muhtars and village chiefs remained the same. The modern municipality of Ilijaš at that time was divided into the Sarajevo and Visoko counties and the boundary line between those two counties was the Povučje stream and the hill Bukovac which was between the stream and Ljubina.
The administrative division of Bosnia and Herzegovina until the formation of bans in 1929 remained the same even during the Austro-Hungarian occupation. In 1922, oblasts were formed instead of districts. Everything remained the same until 1941. After the liberation of the temporary national assembly of the Federal Bosnia and Herzegovina, the assembly's first session in August 1945 brought up the law of the territorial division of Bosnia and Herzegovina into districts, counties, and areas of local people's committees and their headquarters.
