Local Slovenes lose battle for Prešeren Park in Sarajevo
The continuing controversy over Sarajevo’s Prešeren Park has apparently ended, just days before local Slovenes are to celebrate the 8 February holiday in the poet’s honor. Responding to demands by local Muslims, city authorities in the Bosnian capital have rescinded the name "Prešeren Park" for the hitherto-abandoned site and will now rename it in honor of the Harem Kalin hadži Alijna džamija, an historic mosque that stood at that location until it was destroyed in 1945 [Mladina / 31.01.05 / Preimenovan Prešernov park v Sarajevu].
