A greeting on the occasion of the beginning of the Ramadan fast
The beginning of Ramadan, the holiest month for Muslims, and its symbolism should inspire what is most valuable in a person, embodied in mercy, trust, tolerance, and respect for others. Let this holiday of prayer, kindness, and forgiveness be an encouragement for mutual help and respect, because only by respecting our differences will we succeed in building coexistence and a brighter future for all citizens. “In the spirit of the holiday, I wish the members of the Islamic faith in our country an easy Ramadan fast, good health, peace, prosperity, love, and forgiveness, with the belief that the month of Ramadan will strengthen these values,” said Ivan Stoilkovic, the Deputy Prime Minister in the Government and Minister for Inter-Community Relations, in his holiday greeting.
