Gajret
Gajret was a cultural society established in 1903 that promoted Serb identity among the Slavic Muslims of Austria-Hungary (today's Bosnia and Herzegovina).

History After the 1914 Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand leadership of the association was interned in Arad. The organization viewed that the South-Slavic Muslims were Serbs lacking ethnic consciousness.
