I think my favourite part of the Bosnian internet is people searching for and discovering old Ottoman coins. You can wear them as accessories or just have them as historical pieces. 🇧🇦🇹🇷

By Ancient Bosnia:
"Along its edges whisper the footsteps of janissaries, while the scent of incense from the harem slowly fills the air. The sultanas may have vanished long ago, but their radiance and secrets remain woven into this piece of silver. This is a story of power, faith, and history that shaped the Bosnian valleys, where the aromas of spices, the sounds of dervishes, the call to prayer from minarets, and an empire that lasted for centuries all intertwined. Touch the past and feel the imperial silence in your hands.🇧🇦🇹🇷"

🇸🇾 Usame Zukorlić Meets Syrian President: “Syria Gives Hope to the Free World”

Usame Zukorlić, Minister without portfolio in the Government of Serbia in charge of reconciliation, regional cooperation, and social stability, paid an official visit to Damascus, where he held a high-level meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.

🗣 In a statement shared on social media, Zukorlić emphasized the symbolic importance of Syria's perseverance:

There are few leaders whose life path so strongly symbolizes a people’s struggle for freedom and dignity. Syria today gives hope to the entire Ummah and the free world – precisely because, despite all the trials, it has not collapsed nor descended into a fratricidal war following the fall of dictatorship.”

Surreal feeling, to be honest. There is a sense of closure now that the nightmare has passed. To all the men from Bosnia who now rest beneath the ground of Syria — your lives were not given in vain. Till we meet again. 💚

MUHAMED HADŽIEFENDIĆ – The Man Who Saved the Muslims of Northeastern Bosnia from Extinction ☪️

MUHAMED HADŽIEFENDIĆ – The Man Who Saved the Muslims of Northeastern Bosnia from Extinction ☪️
Background:

Muhamed-aga Hadžiefendić was one of the shining figures in Bosniak history. He was born on January 18, 1898, in Tuzla. At that time, all of it was part of the Habsburg Monarchy, as Bosnia and Herzegovina was an Austro-Hungarian province granted to the Vienna Court by the Great Powers after the Berlin Congress. His father was a skilled merchant who amassed considerable wealth. His father's wish was for young Muhamed to follow in his footsteps, but Muhamed had little interest in that path. He completed primary school in Tuzla and graduated from the Commercial Academy in Sarajevo.

With the outbreak of the First World War, following the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Muhamed Hadžiefendić—highly motivated and patriotic—joined the 3rd Infantry Division, based in Tuzla. In fact, he volunteered. The command sent his unit to the Italian front, where they engaged in fierce battles in the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula. They achieved significant successes. By the end of the war, he had reached the rank of lieutenant. With the collapse of Austria-Hungary, the first South Slavic state was formed: the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. Since he had been part of the defeated army, Muhamed Hadžiefendić withdrew into a kind of clandestine existence. He continued his father's trading business and significantly increased the family's wealth. However, in 1934, he went to Belgrade to attend the Military Academy, where he graduated after four years. He took his exams as an external candidate. In 1938, he earned the rank of major in the reserve forces of the Royal Yugoslav Army. When the Axis Powers invaded the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1941, Muhamed Hadžiefendić was among the many officers who betrayed and broke their oath, immediately deserting the army.

Citizens of Tuzla, Gračanica, Devetaci, Puračić, and other nearby places still recall—based on oral accounts from their parents and grandparents—that Hadžiefendić's Legion played a key role in defending Bosniaks from Chetniks and Partisans, who for a time jointly committed crimes against Bosniaks. Anyone who does not blindly follow the communist interpretation of history understands that the Bosniaks of Tuzla and the surrounding areas would have faced the same fate as the Bosniaks of Eastern Bosnia and Eastern Herzegovina.

After the massacres in Koraj, Tupkovići, and Devetaci, and following the defense of Puračić, Hadžiefendić began seriously forming a unit to defend villages and towns with a majority Bosniak population. On December 22 in Tuzla, the Volunteer Detachment of the People's Uprising under Major Hadžiefendić was established. His fighters resembled other Home Guard forces but were visibly distinct in their uniforms, which incorporated elements of traditional Muslim dress.

For most of 1942, Hadžiefendić’s Legion did not retreat an inch from the territory it controlled. Over time, its ranks grew, evolving from a detachment into the Hadžiefendić Volunteer Legion Group, which by spring 1942 numbered 5,000 soldiers divided into six battalions. The Legion’s continued growth led to a final reorganization in July 1942 into the Volunteer Home Guard Regiment (DOMDO), fulfilling the vision of Tuzla’s Bosniak leaders for a military-security stronghold in the greater Tuzla region.

The political and military situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina became more complex with the formation of the 13th SS Mountain “Handžar” Division. At the end of March, Hadžiefendić was summoned to Sarajevo, where he met with SS Oberleutnant Krempler and took the first concrete steps toward establishing the 13th SS Division. Upon returning to Gračanica, Hadžiefendić wore a German uniform for the first time—paired with a Bosnian fez—signaling his readiness to support the creation of a Bosniak SS division. In late May, he took up a position as an officer in the division. Other officers from the Legion were also invited to join but defected to the Partisans. This marked the end of Hadžiefendić’s Legion.

Immediately after defecting, the former legionnaires began promoting the Partisan movement. The defection of Omer Gluhić gave the NDH (Independent State of Croatia) authorities a pretext to remove Hadžiefendić as the Legion commander, which they did in June 1943.

🕊 Grave in the courtyard of the Jalska Mosque

After Tuzla fell to the Partisans on October 2, 1943, Hadžiefendić neither hid nor fled his home. However, his political opponents held him responsible for the city’s delayed fall to the Partisans. Five days after their entry, Hadžiefendić was called to trial and swiftly sentenced to death. The greatest irony lies in the fact that those who had attacked the Bosniaks sentenced, for “fighting against the Muslim people,” the very man who had organized their defense. Hadžiefendić was executed on October 7, 1943. He refused to be blindfolded, saying: “I am an officer, and I am not afraid to look death in the eye.” His body lay in the sand for nearly a year. Only in the summer of 1944 was it transferred to Tuzla by Topčić’s "Green Cadre" and buried in the courtyard of the Jalska Mosque.

Muhamed Hadžiefendić was resented by his political opponents because:

– during the April War of 1941, he refused to fight for the interests of Greater Serbian circles in Belgrade;
– in November 1941, during an attack by Serbian insurgents from Ozren on the majority-Muslim town of Puračić, and after the fall of Devetaci, he forced Home Guard units from Slavonia to defend it;
– on December 22, 1941, following the Partisan-Chetnik massacre of Muslims in Koraj, he founded the “Volunteer Detachment of the People's Uprising of Major Hadžiefendić,” which he separated from the NDH armed forces;
– politically, he was close to the Bosniak autonomists in Sarajevo, who advocated for the separation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the NDH;
– during the existence of the DOMDO Legion, Chetniks avoided the Tuzla area entirely;
– the DOMDO Legion did not participate in battles against the NOV and POJ (Partisan forces), focusing solely on protecting Muslim villages from Chetnik attacks;
– he supported the formation of the 13th SS “Handžar” Division, made up of Bosnian Muslims, as the nucleus of a future Bosnian Guard, further weakening the NDH’s military forces;
– together with Omer Gluhić and Meša Selimović, he did not defect to the Partisans on May 10, 1943;
– he did not actively join the 13th SS Division, instead going on “sick leave”;
– during the first liberation of Tuzla on October 2, 1943, he did not defend the city against the NOV and POJ;
– he was an anti-communist;
– no Orthodox village remembers him the way they remember the Ustaša Francetić.

Muhamed-aga’s only “sin” was that he was an anti-communist—which should not be surprising for a pre-war merchant and a soldier of the Royal Yugoslav Army. Hadžiefendić was condemned as an ideological, not military, enemy—against all conventions.
