SARAJEVO, Sept 4 (Hina) - The sarcophagus with the remains of the last Bosnian king, Stjepan Tomasevic, will be returned to Jajce in central Bosnia on September 14 and put underground to mark the benediction of the renovated St.
Luke's Franciscan monastery, Sarajevo-based daily Oslobodjenje said on Saturday. The sarcophagus, which is currently in the southern Croatian port of Split, was located inside the Jajce monastery since King Stjepan's death in 1463. After Jajce was liberated from Serbian occupation in 1995, the sarcophagus was taken to the Split Museum of Archaeology because of the damage the Franciscan monastery suffered in the Bosnian war. King Stjepan Tomasevic was captured and killed by Turkish sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror. The king's death marked the end of Bosnia's medieval kingdom.(hina) ha
