Respected Reis ul Ulema Sulejman Efendi Rexhepi,
Let me extend my cordial congratulations to you personally, to the members of the Riyaset, muftis, imams and to all citizens of Islamic religion in the Republic of Macedonia on the occasion of the great Muslim holiday Kurban Bairam.

I sincerely wish you spend the holiday in good health, joy, and harmony.

Kurban Bairam is a holiday of solidarity and unity, highlighting all human virtues, and lending helping hand to those less wealthy in need of material support. May this year’s celebration be in such an atmosphere of mutual respect and generosity!

I am convinced that the Islamic Religious Community will continue to take part in building trust and understanding between different religions and ethnicities in the Republic of Macedonia, thus contributing to the achievement of our common vision of a modern, developed and prosperous Republic of Macedonia

Congratulations on your holiday!

Sincerely,
Dr. Gjorge Ivanov
