The President of the Assembly of the Islamic Community visited the Centre for Halal Quality Certification.

The President of the Assembly of the Islamic Community in Croatia, Salkan ef. Herić, who also serves as the Chief Imam of the Islamic Community Council in Dubrovnik, today visited the Centre for Halal Quality Certification, where a working meeting was held with the Manager of the Centre, Mr. Muhamed Mandžić, on the topic of current activities, further development and strategic work plans of this institution.

During the meeting, the President of the Assembly expressed satisfaction with the visible progress and development of the Centre for Halal Quality Certification, emphasising that the Centre continuously confirms its important role in strengthening consumer trust, developing the halal market and internationally positioning the Islamic Community in Croatia.

It was particularly emphasised that the Assembly of the Islamic Community, as the highest representative and legislative body of the Islamic Community in Croatia, gives full support to the further development of the Centre and the continuation of its activities, recognising its institutional and strategic importance for the Islamic Community, as well as for the wider social and economic community.

The visit to the Centre took place on the symbolic date of 27 April, which marks 110 years since the official recognition of Islam in the Republic of Croatia. This date carries additional symbolism for the Centre for Halal Quality Certification itself, which was founded on 27 April, thereby giving today's meeting special historical significance.

The meeting also discussed preparations for the Business Forum 2026, which will be held from 11 to 13 November this year in Dubrovnik. The Manager of the Centre, Mr. Muhamed Mandžić, informed the President of the Assembly about the activities carried out so far and the course of organisational preparations, as well as about the planned content and dynamics of the event itself.

In addition to the Manager of the Centre, the meeting was also attended by the Head of the Certification Department, Nedim ef. Omerović.

Today's meeting once again confirmed the importance of institutional support for the further development of the Centre for Halal Quality Certification, as well as its increasingly significant role in promoting halal standards, strengthening the economy and representing the Islamic Community in Croatia at the domestic and international levels.
