Avdić attended the celebration of Bosniak Day in Sarajevo

The President of the Rožaje Municipal Assembly, Almir Avdić, attended last night's celebration of Bosniak Day in the Sarajevo City Hall.
The ceremony, which was attended by many prominent dignitaries, was organized by the Bosnian Cultural Association (BZK) "Preporod", and the patrons were the members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Šefik Džaferović, and the Mayor of Sarajevo, Abdullah Skaka.

President of BZK "Preporod" Sanjin Kodrić, addressing the audience, said that the Day of Bosniaks is related to the First Bosniak Assembly, the Bosniak national assembly that was held in besieged Sarajevo on September 27 and 28, 1993, when, along with a number of other important decision, a nationwide decision made by which Bosniaks "revitalized their real, historical national name Bosniak", reports the portal Klix.
Kodrić pointed out that the Day of Bosniaks has a deep, fundamental symbolic value, because it also marks that historically pivotal, fateful moment when Bosniaks fought for the freedom of their identity, for the inalienable right to their real name, but also for the essential right to their identity, to what they really are.
"It was a moment of symbolic Bosniak removal of shackles from oneself and one's self, from one's collective we, it was a moment of remembering the ideologically forbidden and therefore suppressed and forgotten self for decades, a moment of coming out of forced individual and collective identity amnesia, a moment of returning to oneself and, finally, a moment of freedom," Kodric said.

BiH Presidency member Šefik Džaferović emphasized in his speech that the First Bosniak Parliament is one of the most significant events for Bosniaks in their history.
