Although it was announced that one of the participants of the first European summit on Islamophobia, which will be held from the 24th to 26th of June in Sarajevo, will be Reis-ul-Ulema Husein Kavazovic, from the Islamic community denied allegations on his participation in this meeting.
“The Office of Reis-ul-Ulema informs the public that Mr. Kavazovic will not participate in the mentioned summit. The Islamic community believes that the organization of such a meeting in BiH that is dedicated to Islamophobia, should be done in its cooperation.
Moreover, the Islamic community is surprised by the announcements of participation of its officials in this meeting, since it has not been informed about anything. Although the Islamic community is not involved in the organization in any way, we hope that this gathering will produce useful results,” as said in a statement that was sent from the Office of Reis-ul-Ulema.
The former British Minister of Foreign Affairs confirmed his participation at the Summit as well as one of the founder of the Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Bernard Kouchner, and representatives of 17 European countries.
At the Summit will be discussed the establishment of best political practices in the fight against Islamophobia in Europe. The conclusions of the Summit will be written in the report that will be available to European policy makers after the Summit.
Panel discussion on how communities can contribute to fight against the various forms of prejudice and intolerance will be organized as part of the Summit. Ramadan iftar dinner will be also held in Sarajevo for more than 400 guests.
