Sanski Bridge

The community and the town of Sanski Most are located in the historical region of Bosnian Krajina in the middle of the Sanaa River. In the west of the community is Mount Gremech , in the east - Mulezh and Behremaginitsa mountains . Eight major rivers flow there, not counting the Sana'a: Sanitsa, Dabar, Zden, Blich, Maidansk-Rijeka, Yapra, Sasinka and Kozitsa. Several small rivers are tributaries of the Sana'a. The region is distinguished by the fact that in the village of Ilitsa near the Mulezh mountain there flows a river saturated with radiation, the water of which has healing properties. There are several large caves in the community, including the Khrustovatskaya and Dabar caves. The Central European climate prevails.

As of 1991, 60,307 people lived in 75 cities of the community.

Settlements in the community have existed since the time of the Roman Empire. The first settlement dates back to 820 from the year of the birth of Christ, which bore the name of Luke. The city of Sanski Bridge itself was first mentioned in 1244 under the name Zana . Under Ottoman rule, the city was included in the Bosnian sanjak, in 1878, Austria-Hungary annexed the city after the Berlin Treaty. During the Second World War, partisan activity was strong among the Bosnian anti-fascists in the city; the second congress of the Bosnian and Herzegovina anti-fascist assembly of the people was held from June 30 to July 2, 1944 .

During the Bosnian War, the community was controlled by Republika Srpska troops from spring 1992 to 1995. Serbian troops in response to the killing of peaceful Serbs mercilessly massacred the Bosnians and drove them out of their homes. In October 1995, the city was recaptured by the army of Bosnia and Herzegovina shortly before the war. The whole community was included in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in 2004, at the request of the Republika Srpska, the Bosnians ceded to the Serbs Oshtru Luk.

According to the Encyclopedia of Yugoslavia from 1968, the community housed numerous woodworking enterprises, brick factories, power plants, tobacco warehouses and coal mines in Kamengrad. Active construction was carried out in cities; the narrow-gauge railway Priedor-Drvar-Lichka Kaldrma passed through Sana'a. The Bosnian war led to the total desolation of most of the country, as a result of which the restoration of the region continues to this day. There are seven elementary schools and three secondary schools in the Sanski Most community: Sanski Most Gymnasium, Secondary School Gymnasium and Sanus Futurum School.

In the city of Sanski Most there is an Orthodox church and a mosque, and the headquarters of the charity organizations Center for Peace Building and Phoenix Center are also located there. Sanski Most is known for its chain of restaurants, cafes and eateries, where Radio Sana operates at a frequency of 103.7 FM. As for sports life, the Podgrechme football club, which plays in the Second League, is based there. Earlier in 1985, the women's basketball club Sana was founded there, which was the most successful in Yugoslavia. In 1995, the club ceased to exist.
