Several months after the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended the 1992-95 Bosnian war and the siege of Sarajevo, the members of security forces of the Federation entity entered Grbavica, Kovacici and Vraca neighbourhoods.

This marked the return of these parts of Sarajevo under the rule of the Novo Sarajevo municipal authorities after four years of occupation.

The day of the reintegration of these settlements is marked as the day of the local communities of Grbavica 1, Grbavica 2, Kovacici, Vraca and Gornji Kovacici.
