Robna Kuća Sarajka
Open-knowledge reference entry
Robna Kuća Sarajka (Department Store Sarajka) was a large department store that opened on 6 April 1975. It was heavily damaged during the Siege of Sarajevo from 1992 to 1995. The abandoned store was demolished in 2007. The decision to rebuild was made by owner BBI Real Estate. The new building opened on 6 April 2009. The old department store was nicknamed Blue Girl because of its Blue-ish design described by the Yugoslav Sarajevans. On 14 April 2017, The Historical Archive of Sarajevo had added the DP Sarajka on their site as an archive building.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q96402284. The first chronological checks are 1975, 1992, 1995 and 2007.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
