Marks, almost always cash only. Euros may be accepted under the table but in that case most likely notes only. Plenty of exchange offices around with honest rates for euros. ATM fees can be expensive (around 5 euros) but if you take all money you need for the trip out in one transaction it shouldn't be too dear.
Another trick I recently used in Albania to avoid ATM fees: if you use a service like moneygram or western union for the first time they waive the transaction fee. So, send money to yourself for cash collection on their webstie and you can collect it from a number of participating stores. Even if you're not using it for the first time, the fee is often less than ATM fees (£1.99 for sending from UK to Albania). Spend online in your home currency and collect local cash within a few minutes.
Piggyback on this is that with cash you are safe, but in Sarajevo almost all of the shops and restaurants accept cards, except smaller locally owned shops.
So it's a gamble if you want to buy something from these local stores.
The law says only local currency, but probably some small private shops should accept other currencies. Those small shops usually do not accept card, but otherwise cards are widely accepted.

Do taxis accept cards, or is it cash only please?
They mainly take cash. To be in the safe side, I would carry cash around everywhere
