Bosnia and Herzegovina's [[Greece–Bosnia and Herzegovina Friendship Building|Parliament office]] in Sarajevo was damaged heavily in the [[Bosnian War]]. Due to damage, the staff and documents were moved to a nearby ground-level office to resume work. In late 2006, reconstruction work started on Parliament and was finished in 2007. The cost of reconstruction was 80% funded by the [[Politics of Greece|Greek Government]] through the Hellenic Program of Balkans Reconstruction (ESOAV), and 20% by Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The City of Sarajevo comprises four municipalities: [[Centar, Sarajevo|Centar]], [[Novi Grad, Sarajevo|Novi Grad]], [[Novo Sarajevo]], and [[Stari Grad, Sarajevo|Stari Grad]]. Each operates their own [[Local government|municipal government]], while united they form one city government with its constitution. The [[executive (government)|executive branch]] ({{langx|bs|Gradska uprava}}) consists of a [[List of mayors of Sarajevo|mayor]], with two deputies and a cabinet.

The [[legislature|legislative branch]] consists of the [[Sarajevo City Council|City Council]], or ''Gradsko vijeće''. The council has 28 members, including a council speaker, two deputies, and a secretary. Councilors are elected by the municipality in numbers roughly proportional to their population.<ref>Government of Sarajevo on [http://www.sarajevo.ba/en/stream.php?kat=136 Sarajevo Official Web Site] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080224063956/http://www.sarajevo.ba/en/stream.php?kat=136 |date=24 February 2008 }}</ref> The City Statute requires the city council to include at least six councilors from each [[Ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina|constituent people]] and at least two from the ranks of Others.

Sarajevo's Municipalities are further split into "local communities" (Bosnian, ''Mjesne zajednice''). Local communities have a small role in city government and are intended as a way for ordinary citizens to get involved in city government. They are based on key neighborhoods in the city.
