PALE
Pale su općina i mjesto u neposrednoj blizini Sarajeva. Oštra planinska klima osjeća se i tokom ljetnjih mjeseci, kad temperatura vazduha rijetko prelazi 25 stepeni Celzijusa.

Po popisu iz 1991. godine općina je brojala 16.355 stanovnika u omjeru cca.68,99% Srba i 26,68% Bošnjaka, od toga u gradu Pale - 7.384. Približna nacionalna struktura je bila i samom sjedištu općine - naselju Pale-Koran. Naseljavanjem izbjeglica Pale su udvostručene i danas su grad sa četiri fakulteta- Ekonomskim, Filozofskim, Pravnim i Fakultetom za fizičku kulturu.

PALE
Pale (Cyrillic: Пале) is a town and a municipality in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, located northeast of Bosnia's capital Sarajevo. The municipality of Pale is one of the municipalities of the City of Istočno Sarajevo.
History
Pale was known as the de facto capital of Republika Srpska during the Bosnian
war, as the Constitution of Republika Srpska sets out that Sarajevo is the
capital of Republika Srpska. The de facto capital has now transferred to Banja
Luka.
Prior to the Dayton Peace Accord, Pale was a remote suburb of Sarajevo; following the population redistribution on the basis of ethnicity in Bosnia during and after the Bosnian War, it began to more closely resemble a proper town, which it does, today.

1,438 Muslims by nationality (Bosniaks)
271 Yugoslavs

85 others
The pre-war Bosniak part of the Pale municipality known as Pale-Prača is now
in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Bosnian Podrinje Canton).
Nowadays
Today there are about 30,000 inhabitants in Pale, many of them Bosnian Serbs
that moved from Sarajevo.
Name and geography
PalePale is additionally referred to by its Serb inhabitants, and in fact
by many of the inhabitants of the Republika Srpska (Serb Republic), as 'Srpsko
Sarajevo', or 'Serb Sarajevo'. However, the distance of about 10 km (6 mi)
separates the borders of the actual city of Sarajevo and Pale itself. Pale
continues to be referred to as Serb Sarajevo due to the fact that, after the
Dayton Peace Accords, Sarajevo-proper was designated as belonging to the Muslim-Croat
Federation, but Bosnian Serbs, having lived in Sarajevo for generations themselves,
wanted to retain some claim to their city. As a result, in an attempt to echo
belonging to Sarajevo, and stake some claim to it, Pale, the closest Serb
settlement to Sarajevo (within the Serb Republic), became known as and referred
to as Serb Sarajevo, albeit with a hint of sarcasm by many people, without
regard to their ethnicity. The town is, in reality, removed geographically
from the city of Sarajevo and shares no metropolitan features with the city
itself. It is home to its own post office, University buildings, etc.
