International Bosniaks' Day in North Macedonia

International Bosniaks' Day (Bosnian: Međunarodni dan Bošnjaka) is an annual event celebrated by the Bosniak community in North Macedonia and around the world. It marks the recognition and promotion of Bosniak identity, culture, and heritage.

History: The day commemorates the historic Congress of Bosniak Intellectuals held on September 28, 1993, in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  • Exhibitions showcasing traditional Bosniak crafts, art, and historical documents.
  • Performances of traditional music and dance.
  • Lectures and seminars focusing on various aspects of Bosniak history and culture.
