MRV in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the occasion of Kurban Bayram tells believers of the Islamic faith that their holiday days be filled with peace, love and togetherness, because Kurban Bayram reminds us of the values of sacrifice, solidarity and care for one’s neighbors. In the spirit of mutual respect and understanding, let this holiday be an opportunity to strengthen ties.
