SARAJEVO (AFP) - Saudi Arabia Prince Salman bin Abdel Aziz arrived Wednesday in Sarajevo for a five-day visit to Bosnia to open a mosque and an Islamic center built at a cost of 22 million marks ($10 million) by Saudi Arabia.

Salman, the governor of Riyadh and chairman of the Saudi committee to raise money for Bosnian Muslims, was to meet top Bosnian officials Thursday, including members of the joint presidency.

On Friday, Salman is to inaugurate the mosque and the Islamic cultural center in Sarajevo, named after Saudi's King Fahd.

On Saturday he is to travel to Brcko district, in the north, as well as to the northern town of Tuzla to open mosques there.

Saudi Arabia has sent $550 million of aid to Bosnia-Herzegovina, some $120 million of it directly from the government.

Salman is due to leave Bosnia Sunday.
