Trebević ({{lang-sr-cyrl|Требевић}}) is a mountain in central Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in the territories of Republika Srpska, Sarajevo and East Sarajevo city, bordering Jahorina mountain. Trebević is {{convert|1628|m|sp=us}} tall, making it the second shortest of the Sarajevo mountains.

During the Middle Ages, Trebević was known as Zlatni Do.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} During the 1984 Winter Olympics Trebević, like the other Sarajevo mountains, was used for several Olympic events, such as bobsledding.

Trebević today is important as a tourist destination for citizens of Sarajevo as Igman or Bjelašnica.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} Most of the land mines are now cleared from heavy fighting that took place in the early 1990s. There are a few hotels, mountaineering homes, and other such structures on Trebević and the immediate area. The mountain is very popular for family picnics, hiking, climbing, mountain biking and it has a downhill track for local and international skiing competitions.[https://www.skiresort.info/ski-resort/trebevic/ Ski resort Trebevic] skiresort.info

Trebević has been the main excursion site for Sarajevo citizens due to the favorable geographical position, climate and the beauty of the nature. The biological diversity is among the highest and it is extraordinary to find such a phenomenon near the heart of the big city.{{citation needed|date=August 2017}} On 9 April 2014, Sarajevo Canton Assembly declared Trebević a protected area, in order to conserve and improve each element of the geographical and biological diversity.{{cite web|url=http://www.zppks.ba/bs/trebevic|title=Zaštićeni pejzaž "Trebević"|publisher=Javna ustanova Zaštićena prirodna područja Kantona Sarajevo|accessdate=13 April 2015|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150331200528/http://zppks.ba/bs/trebevic|archivedate=31 March 2015}}

Trebević can be reached from Sarajevo by the Trebević Cable Car, which starts from the neighbourhood of Bistrik.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}

=Orthodox cross controversy=

In March 2008, a Bosnian Serb organization Savez logoraša Republike Srpske (Association of Bosnian Serb War Prisoners), led by Branislav Dukić, announced its intention to erect a giant {{convert|26|m|sp=us|adj=on}} high Orthodox Christian cross at the part of the mountain on Republika Srpska territory in order to commemorate the Serb victims in Sarajevo during the Bosnian War.{{cite web|author=|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23597915|title=Sarajevans angered by Serbian cross project|publisher=NBCnews|date=12 March 2008|access-date=12 July 2016}} The idea followed a move by Bosnian Croats who erected a Catholic Christian cross on Hum Hill above Mostar, remembering Croats killed there during the Bosnian War.[http://old.balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/8551/?tpl=297 Bosnia Serbs To Erect Sarajevo Cross] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131007040655/http://old.balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/8551/?tpl=297 |date=2013-10-07 }}, Balkaninsight.com, 12 March 2008 High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina Miroslav Lajčák asked Republika Srpska authorities not to allow the construction of the cross.[https://archive.today/20131005173053/http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/srpska/conversations/topics/23069 Int'l administrator: Bosnian Serb authorities should not allow giant cross over Sarajevo], Associated Press/International Herald Tribune, 14 March 2008

The structure was built in early 2014, only for it to be demolished within a month by persons unknown. There has recently{{when|date=July 2020}} been talk about its reconstruction; however, this has yet to materialise due to the fear of it being demolished once again.{{cite web| url=https://www.radiosarajevo.ba/vijesti/bosna-i-hercegovina/savez-logorasa-rs-a-plasi-se-da-bi-krst-na-zlatistu-mogao-biti-srusen-cekaju-dozvolu/306884 | title=Savez logoraša plaši se da bi krst na Zlatištu mogao biti srušen, čekaju dozvolu | website=radiosarajevo.ba | date=18 July 2018 | accessdate=14 July 2020 }}
