Grand Mufti
In June 2016, at the session of the Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Community of Serbia held in Novi Pazar, the entire Riyaset of the Islamic Community of Serbia, headed by the Grand Mufti, Adem Zilkić, was relieved of his duties, as well as the Mufti of Serbia, Muhamed Jusufspahić. Abdullah Numan was appointed the new Mufti of Serbia.[2] The new Mufti of Sandžak (Hasib Suljović) and the new mufti of Preševo (Nedžmedin Sćipi) were also elected. Until the election of the new Grand Mufti, it was decided that the Islamic Community of Serbia should be led by a commission composed of three muftis (Serbian, Sandžak and Preševo). Sead Nusufović was elected the new Grand Mufti on 2 July 2016, and he was solemnly enthroned in the Bajrakli mosque in Belgrade. He should remain in that position until 2021.[3][4]
