Dear Reis ul Ulema Hadzi Sulejman Efendi Rexhepi,

I avail myself of this opportunity, on my personal behalf and on behalf of the citizens of the Republic of Macedonia, to congratulate the start of the Ramadan fasting to you, to the Riaset of the Islamic Religious Community and to all citizens of Islamic religion in the Republic of Macedonia, wishing peace, health and welfare. May you all spend the holidays in the spirit and tradition of your faith.

Cooperation and cohabitation are the foundation of our society and as such they are an example for the whole world. I am strongly convinced that in future, the Islamic Religious Community will continue its activity that contribute the Republic of Macedonia to be an example of peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding and respect for all citizens regardless of their ethnic and religious affiliation.

May the holy month of Ramadan be filled with joy, harmony, virtue and solidarity.
