The Bosniak people have always been on the right side of history, said the president of the Bosniak Council in Montenegro, Suljo Mustafić.
The Bosniak Council announced that Mustafić and Executive Board President Mirsad Rastoder attended the annual ceremonial academy of the Association of Citizens from Sandžak in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), which was held in Sarajevo on the occasion of BiH Statehood Day and Sandžak Day.
The announcement adds that in his welcoming speech, Mustafić referred to the importance of commemorating the achievements of the anti-fascist struggle, whose ideal was an equal and just society.
"Both dates bear witness to anti-fascism and the struggle for a just and free society. The Bosnian people have always chosen these values and were on the right side of history. We are proud that as a people with a long and bright tradition, today we connect our country Montenegro and friendly Bosnia and Herzegovina , wanting to see them in the company of European democratic societies," said Mustafić.
He added that the Bosniak Council in Montenegro and the Association of Citizens from Sandžak in Bosnia and Herzegovina are achieving good cooperation that will be strengthened through concrete projects.
Scholarships for students were also awarded at the ceremony, which is traditionally donated by this Association with Friends, and the Bosniak Council in Montenegro has been participating in this project since this year.
"The gathering that was held in the 'Hills' hotel in Ilidža was attended by a large number of members of the Association, and the Minister of Diaspora Mirsad Azemović, the Minister of Regional Investment Development and Cooperation with Non-Governmental Organizations Ernad Suljević, members of the Sarajevo Canton Government, presidents and representatives of Sandža municipality, members of the Bosniak council, academics, representatives of the Islamic community, representatives of the Embassy of Montenegro in Sarajevo, and numerous distinguished businessmen and public workers," the announcement concludes.
