Tram services resumed in Sarajevo on Monday (25/9) for the first time in almost six months. The official operation of the trams signals the beginning of a return to normality in the Bosnian capital, after months of shelling and sniping. The trams, which have been considered an unofficial sign of peace in Sarajevo, began ferrying people between two of the city's main suburbs. They have yet to run into the centre of the capital because of the risk that they would be prime targets for snipers still operating in the area. In addition, some tramlines remain damaged from the fighting.

Tram services started up again in Sarajevo on Monday (22/8) after a 17-day suspension because of persistent Bosnian Serb sniper fire which killed one passenger and wounded 20. U.N. security teams in armoured vehicles deployed in force along the main boulevard where the orange trams roll between the centre of the Bosnian capital and western suburbs.

The famous streetcars in the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, have officially returned to regular service again after a 23-month interruption caused by the Bosnian-Serb bombardment of the city.
