Congratulatory message to the Mufti of Travnik, Dr. Ahmed ef. Adilović, on the Promotion of the Video of the Qasida about Ajvatovica


Esteemed Mufti Adilović,

dear friends of Ajvatovica,

It is my great pleasure to greet you on the occasion of the promotion of the video of the Qasida about Ajvatovica, as part of the 516th Day of Ajvatovica program. Although I am unable to be with you tonight due to other commitments outside of Sarajevo, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the invitation and my pleasure that the Ministry had the opportunity to support this valuable project.

Ajvatovica is much more than an event. I would like to highlight it as a place where tradition and spirituality meet, a place that reminds us of the values ​​that have been a symbol of goodness for generations.

I am especially pleased that the rich heritage of Ajvatovica is presented through art and contemporary forms of expression, because the video you are promoting tonight shows how tradition can be preserved and transmitted in a way that will be close and understandable to new generations, without losing its authenticity.

I believe that culture and art have a unique power to connect people, preserve memories and build bridges between the past and the future. That is why projects like this are of great importance because they not only testify to the richness of heritage but also make it alive and present in the times we live in.

I congratulate all of you because your efforts confirm how important it is to invest in the preservation of cultural and spiritual values ​​that represent the common good of all of us.

May the Days of Ajvatovica this year also remind us of the importance of mutual respect, togetherness and dialogue. These are the values ​​that connect us and that are worth passing on to future generations.

I wish you a successful promotion, a pleasant evening and a meaningful Days of Ajvatovica.
