Rijeka is a city where people of different faiths, nations, cultures, traditions and customs live together. Rijeka always proudly emphasizes that it is a port of diversity.

A delegation from the Halal Quality Certification Centre, comprising head Dr. sc. Aldin Dugonjić and sales manager Mr. Muhamed Mandžić, today visited the Ambassador of the State of Qatar to the Republic of Croatia, H.E. Sheikh Mohammed Yousef J.J. Al-Thani.

The head of the Centre welcomed the Ambassador and wished him every success in his future work.

Centre representatives briefly informed H.E. Sheikh Mohammed Yousef J.J. Al-Thani about the Centre’s activities and ongoing projects.

It is well known that, despite the pandemic, the halal market continues to prove itself as one of the fastest-growing markets.

Halal tourism occupies a special place in the development of the halal market, as shown by research results conducted among certificate holders in Croatia, which indicate that 50 percent of them experienced a 1–5 percent increase in the number of overnight stays/guest arrivals, while more than 31 percent saw an increase of 5–15 percent.

Today, the head of the Halal Quality Certification Centre, Assistant Professor Dr. Aldin Dugonjić, presented the halal certificate to Ms. Ruža Slivar, director of Studio Nine d.o.o., for the products Magic Cleaner and MC Antifog, at the company’s premises.

Magic Cleaner is a highly effective cleaning agent used for glasses, mobile phones, tablets, all types of screens, televisions, cameras, and more.

Thanks to its advanced formula, it dries quickly, leaves no residue, is fully biodegradable, and contains no alcohol.

On 10 December 2021, at the Islamic Centre in Rijeka, a halal certificate was formally awarded to Đuzel Meat j.d.o.o.

The halal certificate covers the following products: ćevapi, šiš ćevapi, pljeskavice, and burgers.

The tradition and recipe used to prepare the ćevapi date back several decades.
