# Otoka, Sarajevo

Otoka (Cyrillic: Отока) is a part of Novi Grad, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, located within the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It shares borders with the following neighborhoods: Čengić vila (East side), Aneks (South-East side), Švrakino Selo (South side). Its residential core represents a chain of high-rise buildings (Streets: Žrtava Fašizma, Brčanska, Aleja Lipa).

The apartment complex was built by the government in the early 1970s and for a long time stood as most prominent and cleanest part of Sarajevo suburbia. The design was advanced for the time with significant green parks areas, preschool, elementary school and shopping all available within the complex. The vehicle traffic was routed with local streets designed in a ring fashion around the complex which contributed to a safer environment overall.
