Some 500 Muslim Roma in Zrenjanin, Vojvodina, have requested the
Yugoslav Minister for Ethnic Minorities Rasim Ljajic and the
Humanitarian Law Center to help reinstate Kasim Zlatic, their imam for
the past 15 years whom they admire and respect for his efforts on
behalf of poor believers. The imam was recently dismissed by the Mufti
of Belgrade, Hamdija Jusufspahic.
Owing to the dismissal of Zlatic, the Muslim Roma in Zrenjanin are
without a prayer leader in the holy month of Ramadan and are unable to
perform their daily devotions. The Humanitarian Law Center recommends
that Mufti Jusufspahic take into account the Muslim Roma?s respect for
their imam and settle the problem accordingly.
