not what i had in mind. but i guess you are right!

well, the capital does not have a "city" after it's name. i guess i should rephrase my question. the name of the country and the name of the capital is exactly the same!

I see an error in my question. It was the Austrian arch-duke Franz Ferdinand, who was assassinated in Sarajevo by Princip. Princip was from blank and the capital of blank is.

Ok I read the question wrong.. actually read it in a hurry so thought you are asking where Archduke Ferdinand was assassined... But the answer remains the same because the Assassin was serbian from Bosnia and Herzegovina .. So the capital would be Sarajevo.. isn't it??
