How to find us
Embassy building in Tina Ujevica 8 is located mid-way between German and Austrian embassies in Sarajevo, and can be approached from either direction, or upstairs from 'Sloga' youth club, behind the Central Bank building.

Disabled access
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office and this Embassy are keen to ensure that their buildings and services are fully accessible to disabled members of the public. Wherever possible, we have made our buildings and services accessible.
However, some disabled visitors might find that access to either of our two Embassy buildings in Sarajevo is difficult as they are located in two old residential buildings that are difficult to adapt. We will endeavour seek to provide a service or access to a building in an alternative way to ensure equality of access for disabled people. To assist disabled visitors, we have set out below details of disabled access at this Embassy.
