Last weekend in Dilaveri, in Mandino Selo near Tomislavgrad, a mosque that was built in 2020 was officially opened, but due to the corona virus pandemic, the official opening was prolonged until the threat of the mentioned pandemic has passed.
In addition to local believers and those who arrived from other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), representatives of the Islamic religious community, the official opening was also attended by the President of the Herceg-Bosnia County (HBZ)Government Ivan Vukadin, Minister of Construction, Reconstruction, Spatial Planning and Environmental Protection in the HBZ Government Hikmet Hodzic, Mayor of Tomislavgrad Municipality Ivan Buntic and the guardian of the Franciscan monastery in Tomislavgrad, Fr. Sretan Curcic.
”Allow me to say here today to the believers as a politician and as a believer, as a Catholic and a Croat to you Muslims – Bosniaks that I am proud that you are consecrating a mosque today here in the village, which is predominantly Catholic and Croat. Allow me, on behalf of all our fellow villagers, to be proud of the fact that you participated in the financing of the Catholic chapel, and we participated in the construction of the mosque. It is a policy that is proving extremely effective because all our ministers, regardless of which nation they belong to, support the common good of all our residents, ” said President Vukadin, and added: ”On behalf of the Government of Herceg-Bosnia County and myself, I wish you that this place be a place sincere prayers and gratitude to the Allmighty, and becomes another candle of hope in the darkness that sometimes surrounds us,” Vijesti.ba reports.
