Iftaar Dinner, October 2006

In October, U.S. Ambassador to Serbia Michael C. Polt hosted the U.S. Embassy's second annual Iftaar dinner. The event brought together leaders from the Muslim community and other faiths, ambassadors from diplomatic missions in Belgrade, and government officials to celebrate the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Amb. Polt delivered a Ramadan message from U.S. President George W. Bush, which stated that "Ramadan and the upcoming holiday seasons are a good time to remember the common values that bind us together. Our society is enriched by our Muslim citizens whose commitment to faith reminds us of the gift of religious freedom in our country.
