Suljo Mustafić was elected president of the Bosniak Council at today's constituent session of the 5th convocation of that council, which was held in Rožaje.
Mustafić has held that position before.
"Today, the constitutive session of the 5th convocation of the Bosniak Council was held in Rožaje, at which the mandates of the new councilors were verified and the president of the umbrella institution of the Bosniak people in Montenegro was elected. Suljo Mustafić, professor of literature and language, former president of the BV, will hold this position for the next four-year term. Mustafić was proposed for this position by several councilors due to, as stated, his previous notable efforts in the sphere of affirmation of Bosniak identity," the Bosniak Council said in a statement.
The statement added that in his introductory address, Mustafić thanked the councilors for their support and announced numerous activities that, as he pointed out, will represent the continuity of work in the field of implementing programs that highlight the rich cultural and social heritage of the Bosniak people.
"Stronger institutional action is necessary towards further inclusion of Bosniaks in all social trends in the common homeland. The Bosniak Council will continue to be an important factor in the coming years in the domain of highlighting the wealth of diversity that makes Montenegro unique," Mustafić emphasized.
He added that he was proud of the work of the previous convocation of the Council, especially the cooperation achieved in the field of regional connections with national councils and the establishment of the regional Parent Association of Bosniak Councils.
The statement states that the new convocation of the Bosniak Council has 52 councilors - 26 from the ranks of state and local officials and 26 elected at the electoral assembly held in Rožaje last week.
