The Mesihat has announced that the entire election process might be finalized by mid-July, when the Islamic Community in Serbia is expected to appoint a new chief. The elections, which were called in keeping with the Constitution of the Islamic Community in Serbia, were not held in the Belgrade Bajrakli Mosque, which is controlled by the the Islamic Community of Serbia, headed by Adem Zilkic. The divisions within the two factions representing Serbia's Muslims see Zukorlic's followers spiritually inclined to Sarajevo, recognizing Bosnian Islamic Community leader Mustafa Ceric as their sole spiritual leader. At the same time, Zilkic's followers hold that the spiritual center is where the Muslims live, in this case, in Serbia. The tensions between the two sides have resulted in many incidents that involved the use of firearms in the volatile Sandzak region. A Musim woman votes in a Novi Pazar mosque (Tanjug)
