Sarajevo Halal Fair, organized for the third time this year in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, opened its doors to visitors. Representatives from the entire halal supply chain attended the fair.

Husein Kavazovic, the President of the Islamic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina, delivered a speech at the fair's opening. He emphasized the significant impact of the fair both in terms of its economic and religious implications. Kavazovic stated, "Halal ensures a happy life in the hereafter. Halal is a trust entrusted to human beings and is a religious obligation and a legal right." Pointing out that the halal industry is one of the fastest-growing industries today, Kavazovic noted the increasing demand for halal products not only among Muslims but also among non-Muslims.
