Sarajevo: is this "dark tourism"?

Sarajevo. For some the city is associated with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on June 28, 1914, triggering the First World War. For others, with the 1984 Winter Olympic Games. But for many it evokes the longest siege in modern history, one imposed on this ancient Ottoman/Austro-Hungarian city by Serb nationalists from April 1992 to February 1996. But as a holiday destination? Not really.
