A major power supply line for the city of Sarajevo is located in a field that is possibly mined. This field was once cleared. However, due to the possible presence of land mines, the damaged power lines have not been repaired.

This repair would bring the citys power supply up to 50 percent of its original strength before the war. Shown here is one the power pylons and a makeshift access road.
