The city of East Sarajevo is a newborn city, formed twenty years ago, after the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the area of the former southern and eastern Sarajevo municipalities. Changes that oc-curred in this area were not only administrative-political.Thepopulation moved from one area to anoth-er place, and changed in number and structure, which has resulted in significant changes in land use and land cover types. The aim of the paper is to analyze the types of land cover in the area of East Sarajevo using methods based on remote sensing, in order to find out the degree of these spatial changes in the period from 2000-2012, and also to define spatial development trends. Within the European project of remote research of land cover types and forms of land use, namedCO-RINE Land Cover (CLC),spacious facilities were identified from middle and large scale spatial resolution, with 5 first-level classes, 15 subclasses, and 44 subclasses of the third level of cover. Analyzing the area of East Sarajevo there are identified 3 of the first-class level, 10 second-class, and 16 third-class level types. Geodataare related to three observation periods: 2000, 2006, and 2012, comparing the situation at the beginning of the period with the situation after 12 years.

The paper presents the changes in soil moisture in the Republic of Srpska (RS), which occurred in the period 2015–2018. Also, the distribution of wetlands by natural units and altitude zones is given. The Copernicus Water and Wetness (WaW) database has been used, based on the photointerpretation of satellite images Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2, in resolutions 10 m and 20 m. Wetlands are divided into four categories, based on the registered percentage of water and moisture during the year and seasons: permanent water, intermittent water, permanent wetland and temporary wetland. The results of the research show that temporary and permanent waters occupy 0.48 % of the territory of the RS, permanently wet areas 0.03 %, while the largest territory includes temporarily wet areas which occupy 1.81 % (areas with wetness from 25 % to 75 %). The two largest areas where humidity occurs, and which differ in geographical position and origin of humidity, are: Posavina and Semberija in the north and medium and high karst fields in the south, in the region of Herzegovina. Changes in soil moisture registered in the period 2015–2018 are primarily of anthropogenic origin and relate to the drainage of wetlands and ponds. The most famous case is the Bardača reserve, where most of the former 11 fishponds have been turned into agricultural land over the last decade. There has not been any long-term monitoring of soil moisture at the entire territory of the RS, so the main contribution of this paper can be seen in that aspect.
