The modern business district of Banja Luka, centered around Republic Square, is the bustling administrative and economic core of the Republika Srpska. Over the past two decades, the area has changed radically: instead of modest post-war buildings, glass skyscrapers and representative government complexes now reach into the sky. Here reside the most important ministries of the entity, the directorate of the tax authority, and the headquarters of the most influential financial institutions and telecommunications companies, most notably Mtel, the largest mobile network provider in the region. The district is not only a symbol of the city's economic boom but also the central hub for the fast-growing Bosnian IT sector, where numerous software companies and start-ups flourish. Broad boulevards and elegant business centers complete the picture of a modern, future-oriented economic metropolis.
