The Holy Quran has been translated into the language of the Balkan's gypsies for the first time as reported by the Central News Bureau of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) on Thursday.

Serbezoski presented one volume of his newly published book to the reis-ul-ulema of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Islamic Society on Wednesday, added the report.

The translator said that he would inroduce his gypsy version of the Quran in an official ceremony after Eid-Ul-Fitr, the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan which is celebrated in Europe on Thursday.
