Religion

Bosniaks started settling in Macedonia after the Congress of Berlin in 1878. Bosniaks in the Republic of Macedonia are predominantly adherents to Sunni Islam.^{[citation needed]}

History

In 1952, Yugoslavia and Turkey signed a free emigration agreement that allowed for Muslims in Yugoslavia to migrate to Turkey. Some of these individuals from more northern portions of Yugoslavia did not complete their migrations and instead settled in Macedonia, including 5,276 Bosniaks from Sandžak.^[2]

The historical censuses in Yugoslavia recorded "Muslims" (Muslimani), the so-called ethnic Muslims, in the SR Macedonia at the numbers of: 1,248 (0.1%) in 1971; 39,512 (2.1%) in 1981; 35,256 (1.7%) in 1991.^{[citation needed]}
