NOVI PAZAR, Islamic Republic of Sanjak (SNA) The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Sanjak, Faruk Hadzibegovic, has accused the Kingdom of Serbia of inciting the Serbian minority in northern Sanjak to be disobedient. The accusation comes after three days of near-riots in several towns in northern Sanjak where Serbs are in the majority, after the government announced that the Islamic law prohibiting the consumption of alcohol will apply to all citizens of Sanjak, including non-Muslims. Prior to this, non-Muslims were granted the right to produce and consume alcohol, but this right has not officially been taken away, despite the announcement that the anti-alcohol law applies to non-Muslims as well. Duke Vuk Mihajlovic, the Serbian foreign minister, said that allegations are untrue. He went on to say that any citizen of any country would be displeased by such oxymoronic laws. -------ferko Ferenc Gy. Valoczy Suurt chugunikka peene ahjo suhe et toukka.
