Trnovo is one of the nine municipalities of the Sarajevo Canton. It is located a few kilometers south of the city of Sarajevo. The seat of the municipality is in Dejčići, although the municipal council uses the "Maršal" Hotel on Mount Bjelašnica as the official meeting hall. As the pre-war municipality (also called Trnovo) was divided by the 1995 Dayton Accords, the actual town of Trnovo is now located in the Republika Srpska.
