Hasanovic, who was appointed to the post two days ago, said he would pay special attention to relations with the Bosnian Islamic community.
Speaking of the position of Muslims in Croatia, he said it was enviable, especially when compared to its neighbours.
The agreement signed in 2002 with the Croatian government on relations with the Islamic community was the result of the community's work since 1916, when Islam was recognised as one of the official religions in Croatia, Hasanovic said, adding that the agreement regulated all outstanding issues of Muslims in Croatia and that the Croatian model of dealing with the Muslim issue was an example to all countries in Europe.
Hasanovic said he and his family would report permanent residence in Srebrenica in order to be able to vote in municipal elections on October 7.
The Bosnian Islamic community has called on all Bosniak prewar residents of Srebrenica to do the same so as to be able to vote in the elections and prevent Serb parties from coming to power in the eastern Bosnian municipality.
"Two crimes were committed against (Srebrenica). The first was the genocide and the second the legalisation of the genocide when Srebrenica went to Republika Srpska (Bosnia's Serb entity). That's why it's my and everyone's duty and right to vote in this town. I have dual citizenship. I voted at the last elections and, God willing, will do so at these elections too," Hasanovic said.
