Human and Minority Rights Minister Svetozar Ciplic has accused Mufti Muamer Zukorlic of radicalizing situation in Sandzak. “He sees potential source of his political strength in conflicts. Stable, rational situation does not suit him,” he told Novi Sad-based daily Dnevnik. Minister accuses mufti of causing instability The minister has assessed that the chief mufti of the Islamic Community in Serbia is only trying to make himself look more important by making parallels between Sandzak and Kosovo. “Because he is aware that the issue of Kosovo is raising very difficult reminiscences among the citizens of Serbia. But that’s a very dangerous political work of the religious leader,” Ciplic stressed. He also said that Zukorlic had opened up a series of issues that had nothing to do with education and culture of Bosniaks and that this had “created division” among the Bosniaks themselves. The minister added that the mufti was also confronting Serbia’s pro-European policy in the process. Ciplic has announced that new elections for the Bosniak National Council will be held in late April. He rejected Zukorlic’s request to have OSCE headquarters in Vienna monitor the elections instead of the OSCE mission to Serbia. “A mission is working in every country on behalf of OSCE, and therefore request of the Bosniak Cultural Community, as well as many other requests, simply cannot be met,” Ciplic concluded.
