Miljacka

Miljacka je desna pritoka Bosne, a nastaje kod Sarajeva, spajanjem Paljanske Miljacke i Mokranjske Miljacke. Iako vrlo kratka (35,9 kilometera), Miljacka je jedna od najpoznatijih rijeka u BiH iz razloga što protiče kroz glavni njezin grad - Sarajevo. Paljanska Miljacka izvire nekoliko kilometera istočno od Sarajeva u mjestu Pale. S Pala Miljacka teče istočno kroz Sarajevo prema rijeci Bosni u koju se ulijeva. Na Miljacki se nalazi više desetina mostova, u tursko doba 13, od čega je pet kamenih, a nastaju do kraja 16. stoljeća. --- The Miljacka is a river in Bosnia and Herzegovina that passes through Sarajevo and East Sarajevo. The Miljacka river originates from the Paljanska Miljacka river and the Mokranjska Miljacka river confluence, though the Paljanska Miljacka, 13 kilometres long river, spring up around 10 kilometres eastward from the town of Pale, under the slopes of Jahorina near Begovina at 1010 metres a.s.l., and the Mokranjska Miljacka, 21 kilometres long river, spring up from a large cave, yet to be explored, near Kadino Selo village at 1135 metres a.s.l. under the slopes of Romanija mountains. The Miljacka is a rather small river, only 38 kilometres long with average discharge of 5,7 m³/s at the City of Sarajevo, and right tributary of the Bosna river. Hence the origin and the estuary, the Miljacka river flows from the east to the west. Because of its poor discharge, the Miljacka is known for its peculiar smell and brown waters. Several famous bridges span it, including the Latin Bridge close to which the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria by Gavrilo Princip was performed. Due to the shallowness of the 10-cm (4 in.) deep river reference needed - as well as because of the ineffective cyanide pill he swallowed in his suicide attempt just after throwing a grenade against the archduke's car -, the first assassin, Nedeljko Čabrinović jumped into the Miljacka, but he was dragged out alive and caught.
