Husein Kavazovic, the head of the Islamic community in Bosnia and Herzegovina extended condolence on the occasion of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, saying that her death saddened the English nation but also the people across the world.

“In human history, only the great leave a deep and recognisable mark. Queen Elizabeth the Second was one of those prominent historical figures, whose influence far exceeded the borders of her country, binding the emotions of millions of people, among them a large number of Muslims,” Kavazovic said.

He also noted that the Queen's decades-long reign marked an entire era, full of major events, while the Queen's attitude towards those events sparked respect and further increased her reputation.

“Her death saddened the English nation but also people around the world. On this occasion, we are extending our condolences to you and your people. May Her Highness rest in peace,” says the note that the Bosnian Grand Mufti sent to the British Embassy in Sarajevo.
