Of course this is not the way it works. I can mention Décathlon and Microsoft even though they are registered trademarks. I can post a picture of the Apple logo when illustrating Apple stuff.
There are things I cannot do (like using them as if they were mine) but mentioning the name is not a problem.
So Sarajevo FTW.
As a side note about the requests from the city of Sarajevo (sorry) to pay for the use of the city : they certainly should protect misuse (false documents for instance) and possibly (though I disagree) commercial use of the name. This is quite common, though enforced to various degrees (usually not, after a few cases which went wrong, for instance in Krakow, Poland).
Fair use will prevail, though this is a real pity we need to come to that
If they've written some wacky clause into the law in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it isn't going to affect you unless you live in that country. I assume they can't extradite you over it.
Edit: You wouldn't want to visit that country, naturally, after flouting their laws like that.
