The Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to Bosnia and Herzegovina Hani bin Abdullah Mominah said that the government, headed by king Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, is aware of the role entrusted to protect the guests of the Most Merciful and does not spare the effort of the security and comfort of the worshipers.
“All safety measures have been taken for the benefit of pilgrims from their arrival to leaving the state and safe return to their homes,” said Ambassador Mominah in an interview with FENA.
Huge investments have been made for enhancing strategic infrastructure, he said, especially in places where the rhetoric of Hajj is being performed, various sectors and programs of governmental institutions that are related to Hajj and Umrah.
In the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Sarajevo, 2,360 visas were issued for hajj of which for BiH 1,680 visas, for Serbia 660, and for Croatia 20 visas, and this was agreed on the protocols for the hajj which were signed between the Hajj Office and the Ministry of Hajj and KSA.
He drew attention to the organizers, pilgrims and their guides, on the obligation of adhering to the group organization of the Hajj and Umrah Departures to facilitate the conduct of religious ceremonies.
He emphasized that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would not allow any political or sectarian features to be emphasized, and that it is the duty of all Muslims to look after their brothers' feelings as well as the specificity and spirituality of the place.
“I advise my brothers and sisters in faith who are from Bosnia and Herzegovina to be more devoted to worship and to worship Allah the Almighty. May they be carefree because Allah keeps His slaves from all evil, and He is the Best Protector, and the Kingdom Government will provide the full service to them,” concluded Ambassador Mominah in an interview with FENA.
