The oldest name of this bridge is Ćirišhana bridge, named after Turkish word for glue factory, which was located near the bridge on the right side of the river.[1] During the Yugoslavian-era, the name of the bridge was "Vrbanja bridge".
Following the Siege of Sarajevo, on 6 April 1996 it was renamed first to "Suada Dilberović bridge", after which on 3 December, 1999 it was renamed to the-now "Suada and Olga bridge".[2] It is named after Suada Dilberović and Olga Sučić, the first victims shot by the Bosnian Serb's Democratic Party militia at the beginning of the Siege of Sarajevo, while a group of civilians were peacefully demonstrating.[3]
History
On 19 May 1993, the couple Admira Ismić and Boško Brkić, a Bosniak and a Bosnian Serb, were also shot while trying to cross the bridge, which was the subject of the 1994 documentary Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo, inspired by a piece of Kurt Schork. In 1995 it was the site of the battle of Vrbanja Bridge between French Troupes de Marine of the United Nations Protection Force and militiamen from the Army of Republika Srpska.[4]
