Petrovići is a rural settlement within the Istočno Novo Sarajevo municipality, part of the Republika Srpska entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The village is perched on a hilly plateau south of the East Sarajevo city center and is defined by its traditional agricultural roots. Petrovići gives expansive panoramic views of the Sarajevo valley and the surrounding Olympic mountain ranges. Historically, the settlement was dominated by livestock farming and crop cultivation, but in recent years, it has increasingly become a sought-after residential area for those wanting to combine urban proximity with a quiet, nature-oriented environment. Infrastructure has been progressively updated to improve connectivity with the urban hubs of Lukavica and Pale. The surrounding landscape is convenient for hiking and nature observation, as it remains largely untouched by large-scale development. Petrovići serves as an example of the transition from purely rural territories to modern suburbs within the capital's wider influence zone.
