MPs Muamer Zukorlic and Jahja Fehratovic Meet with Sandzak Diaspora Delegation
MP Muamer Zukorlic, MP Jahja Fehratovic and State Secretary at the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs, met at the National Assembly House with a delegation of the Sandzak diaspora comprising BDZ Sandzak Vice-President for the diaspora Ljutvo Balkan, president of the Sandzak business association Sefadil Licina, president of the Community of the Sandzak diaspora of Switzerland Senad Sejdovic, president of dezamat “Gazi Isa-beg” Frankfurt (Meintal) and Vice-President of the Bosniak Cultural Community of Luxembourg Asmir Bihorac, president of dzemat “Firdevs” Ferhan Sejdovic, president of dzemat Vetcikon Almir Husovic and German businessman Salahudin Ahmatovic.
Zukorlic also outlined the developmental priorities, among them the continued construction of Corridor 11 via Pester, Sarajevo - Novi Pazar highway, Sanzdak airport, Raska - Novi Pazar – Prijepolje railway, and Brus - Novi Pazar - Tutin pipeline via Kopaonik, as crucial for the development of the Sandzak region.
Speaking of important political issues, Zukorlic mentioned the introduction of tax breaks for population living above 650 m ASL and regular monthly income for mothers with multiple children.
Finally, Zukorlic also mentioned the long-term political priorities of the Bosniak Democratic Community of Sandzak: constitutional resolution of the status of Bosniaks in the Republic of Serbia and the status of Sandzak as a cross-border religious region.
The realisation of this political platform will lead to a normalisation of relations and creation of an environment conducive to lasting peace and stability in Serbia and the region. These projects will also open doors to investment into Sandzak. Business environment, capital market and investment security will allow Sanzdak businessmen from the diaspora to invest into their native land under equal conditions and help the rehabilitation and development of Sandzak, it was concluded.
