No. Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the time of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Bosnia and its capital of Sarajevo were a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also known as the Hapsburg Empire, or the "Dual Monarchy" (Austria AND Hungary). Bosnians were one of a great many ethnic minorities within this large empire.

After WWI this part of the old Hapsburg Empire became part of the new nation of Yugoslavia ("land of the south slavs"). After WWII Yugoslavia went communist, but were a very independent bunch, often going their own way instead of slavishly following the Russian lead. The Yugoslavian leader for many years after WWII was Marshal Tito, who managed to keep his country from being completely dominated by the Russians.

Sarajevo was host city to the 1984 Winter Olympics. Millions around the world were enchanted with the beauty of the place, making the events of the next few years even more horrible. With the collapse of communism in Europe, Yugoslavia also fell apart, and civil war erupted, mostly along the Christian/Muslin divide. Sarajevo was devastated, bombarded with artillery, and its people, civilians, were prey to snipers, who ruthlessly shot down people trying, for instance, to get to the grocery store. People learned where the dangerous places were on the streets, and, if they had to go by there, did so at a dead run, with bullets striking around them. All this was routinely displayed on the evening news around the world. The UN eventually sent in peacekeeping forces, which are still there.
