The Serbs of Sarajevo numbered 157,526 according to the 1991 census, making up more than 30% of the city's population. Today, following the Bosnian War, few Serbs remain in Sarajevo. Forcefully, most have either moved abroad, to Serbia or other countries, or moved to a new settlement on the outskirts of Sarajevo, located in the Republika Srpska, known as East Sarajevo (previously Srpsko Sarajevo - Serbian Sarajevo).
Churches
There are three main Serb Orthodox Christian places of worship in Sarajevo: the Old Orthodox Church (Serbian: Стара православна црква or Stara pravoslavna crkva), dating back to the 16th century,[1] the Cathedral Church (Саборна црква or Saborna crkva), which was erected in the 1860s, and the Church of Sveto Preobraženje in Novo Sarajevo.
