STORYLINE:
Bosnian Muslims celebrated Eid al-Fitr, the festival to mark the end of Ramadan, in Sarajevo on Friday.
Worshippers arrived at the mosque at dawn for prayers.
"This is the biggest holiday for us, we use this opportunity to gather with our families and spend at least one day all together," said Mustafa Pjanic, citizen of Sarajevo.
Eid al Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and is a time when Muslims across the world rejoice after going through fasting, prayers and other sacrifices for 30 days.
The celebration comes amid difficult negotiations between Bosnian Serbs and Muslims on adopting new law forming a joint police force.
Since the end of the Bosnian war in 1995, Serbs and Muslims have had their own, separate, police force.
The European Union is encouraging officials to enact the law, as a precondition for simpler economic and political ties with the European Union and the international community.
