Ajvatovica

Ajvatovica is the largest Islamic traditional, religious and cultural event in Europe. It is located near Prusac. It was named after Ajvaz-dedo. He was a learned man working to enlighten the population and achieve progress in the area.

It is interesting that the “Ajvatovica pilgrimage” is not conditioned by the hejira calendar or by Bajram, but is marked every seventh Monday after Djurdjevdan.
