Bosnia is set to commemorate 100 years since the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the act that triggered World War One.
Cultural and sporting events, including a concert by the Vienna Philharmonic, will mark the occasion in Sarajevo.
Gavrilo Princip, who shot the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, continues to be a divisive figure in Bosnia.
The shots fired by the Bosnian Serb on 28 June 1914 sucked Europe's great powers into four years of warfare.
Bosnia's Serbs, Croats and Muslim Bosniaks are still divided over the role Princip played in bringing tensions to a head in Europe in 1914, with counter-commemorations planned by Bosnian Serbs.

I've been listening to radio shows over this past week about the centenary, really interesting.
