Muftiship of Novi Sad

[1] Besides Muftiship of Novi Sad of the Islamic Community in Serbia, which includes most of the Muslims of Vojvodina, rival Islamic Community of Serbia is also nominally present in the region and it is organizationally divided into Medžlis of Bačka and Medžlis of Banat.Islam appeared in the territory of present-day Vojvodina in the 16th century, when this area became part of the Ottoman Empire.During the Ottoman administration in the Balkans and in the Pannonian Plain, many Serbs converted to Islam, which was a condition for advancement in the state service.After Habsburg conquest of Vojvodina (late 17th and early 18th century), almost entire Muslim population left from this area.In April, 2009, there was a clash of two groups of Muslim believers in front of the masjid of Islamic community in Adamovićevo Naselje in Novi Sad, when members of the rival Islamic Community of Serbia attempted to take over administrative offices of the Muftiship of Novi Sad and to replace imam Fadil Murati.
