Blagovac is a settlement in Vogošća municipality, near Sarajevo, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1]

It is divided into five sub parts which are: Blagovac 1 (factory area), Blagovac 2 (international dog training center in Miro Dukić's house), Blagovac 3 (local mosque that was built after the Bosnian War, shopping center) and Blagovac 4 and 5.

## History

[edit]

First settlers in Blagovac were the Blagovčanin family. Before the Bosnian conflicts Blagovac was entirely populated by a Serbian population. After the war, and with the forming of Republika Srpska, most of the Serbs sold their houses and moved to Pale or other places with a Serbian majority. Now Blagovac is mainly populated by Muslims however there are still few houses with Serbian families left.
