An Assembly of the Islamic Community in Serbia led by chief mufti Muamer Zukorlic has asked the state to "stop the discrimination of this community". There is also a rival organization gathering Muslims in the country – the Islamic Community of Serbia. Muslims seek "protection of rights" Zukorlic's organization, meeting on Saturday in Novi Pazar, asked President Boris Tadic, the government and the ministry in charge to "stop the discriminatory behavior of the state organs" toward the Muslims in this community. The Assembly, which is the Islamic Community in Serbia's highest legislative body, said that it spoke with one voice when it condemned "ever more frequent occurrences of violations of religious rights and freedoms in Serbia and occurrences of discrimination against the members of this community". However, the statement, signed by spokesman Sead Sacirovic, did not specify which rights of Serbia's Muslims have been violated, and in what way. The Assembly of the Islamic Community in Serbia also congratulated all Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) May 11, Bosniak National Flag Day. The statement said that all institutions in the southwestern Serbian region of Sandzak are under obligation to, on that day, display the Islamic Community in Serbia and Bosniak flags.
