Sijerča (Serbian Cyrillic: Сијерча) is a village in the municipality of Kalinovik, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1]

Geography

[edit]

Sijerča is a village located about 52 kilometers south of Sarajevo and 18 kilometers east of Kalinovik, the Kalinovik municipality's capital. It is situated on a karst plateau, overlooking the Bistrica river canyon, Sjeračke Stijene, named after the village.

Demographics

[edit]

In 1961, the census recorded 175 inhabitants. In the 1960s and 1970s, due to urbanization, the population of the village diminished and Sijerča practically has no year-round inhabitants today.

For at least a century, four families lived in Sijerča: Elez, Purković, Tepavčević and Vučetić.
