Skenderija - Terezija Due to a lack of an exhibition and sports-center within the fast expanding city of Sarajevo of the late 1960s, the city-community planned to build the new Skenderija-center. Arch. Živorad Janković and Halid Muhasilović 1969 In 1977, when Sarajevo was voted to host the 1984 Winter Olympics, they started to reconstruct and expand the Skenderija into a real state-of-the-art ice-sports center. It was also chosen as the center for the representatives and press-reporters. After the war, there was no need for the center and it slowly went into disrepair. But in 1999, the city-government of Sarajevo wished to have an exhibition-hall to build up a new economy and trade in Bosnia and Herzegovina. So they rebuilt the Skenderija slowly between 2000–06.
