The Armijska Ratna Komanda D-0 (full civil designation in Serbo-Croatian: Vojni objekat Armijska Ratna Komanda ARK D-0, Армијска Ратна Команда, lit.'Army War Command'), also known as the Ark, ARK/D-0, Atomska Ratna Komanda, and nicknamed Tito's bunker,[3] is a Cold War-era nuclear bunker and military command centre located near the town of Konjic[4] in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[5] Built to protect Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito and up to 350 members of his inner circle[3] in the event of an atomic conflict, the structure is made up of residential areas, conference rooms, offices, strategic planning rooms, and other areas.[5] The bunker remained a state secret until after the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.[6]
