On Great Bayram Moslems fulfill two great religious duties:
pilgrimage to Mecca and those who stay at home have to slaughter a
sheep as an offering and then share the meat with the poor,
neighbours, relatives and friends.
Following the morning prayer, the president of the Moslem
community in Croatia, Sevko Omerbasic, performed the Bayram-namaz
ceremony and forwarded his best wishes to Moslems.
Present at the ceremony were also representatives of the
Islamic community, heads and representatives of the diplomatic
