UNESCO's tentative or provisional list (a list of potential sites) serves as an inventory of sites located within a country that are deemed suitable for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Member states include in their tentative lists those sites they consider to be of exceptional universal value in terms of cultural and/or natural heritage, which they intend to nominate in the coming years. Nominations for the World Heritage List are accepted only if the site has previously been listed on the tentative list. The Jewish cemetery in Sarajevo has been on UNESCO's tentative list since 2018. It is one of the oldest and most significant cemeteries in Bosnia and Herzegovina, rich in history and cultural heritage. The cemetery is located in Sarajevo, near the city center, and serves as an important site for the Jewish community in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Established in the late 16th or early 17th century, it has undergone various phases and events throughout its history. Many notable members of the Jewish community are buried here, including wealthy merchants, rabbis, and intellectuals. The cemetery is distinguished by its characteristic tombstones and architecture that reflect Jewish cultural and religious influences. Furthermore, it frequently attracts researchers and tourists interested in Jewish history and culture.
