Biser (magazine)
Biser was a Bosnian magazine, intended as a non-political replacement for the defunct Behar.[1] The first issue was published 1 June 1912 out of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina by 19-year-old publisher Muhamed Bekir Kalajdžić.[2] The main objective of Biser was to focus on Bosniak culture and heritage, as well as Muslim literary works. The Bosnian word biser means pearl in English.
