Predstavnici ambasada SAD, Kanade i Austrije u Srbiji, posjetili su 2. februara 2016. godine u Novom Pazaru, Bošnjačko nacionalno vijeće, najviše predstavničko tijelo Bošnjaka u Republici Srbiji. Ovom posjetom ukazali su veliku čast Bošnjacima u Srbiji. Delegaciju su primili predsjednik BNV, predsjednik Izvršnog odbora i sekretar Vijeća.
Rukovodstvo Vijeća je upoznalo goste sa uslovima života u Sandžaku, aktuelnom političkom situacijom, aktivnostima BNV-a, i odnosom državnih organa prema Bošnjacima.
Gosti su imali priliku da se upoznaju sa problemima koji opterećuju građane u Sandžaku, kao i pozitivnim kretanjima u ovoj nerazvijenoj regiji. Posebno je naglašen problem visokog stepena nezaposlenosti, koji je dvostruko veći nego u ostalim dijelovima Srbije i odsustvo interesovanja države za investiranje u razvoj ovog kraja.
U razgovoru je naglašena činjenica da Bošnjaci u Sandžaku nailaze na velike prepreke u ostvarivanju svojih Ustavom i zakonom zagarantovanih prava.
Jedan od ključnih vidova diskriminacije nad Bošnjacima u Sandžaku je i neadekvatna zastupljenost Bošnjaka u pravosudnim organima, policiji, i drugim državnim organima sa javnim ovlaštenjima.
Rukovodstvo Vijeća je također upoznalo goste sa nezakonitom privatizacijom Regionalne radio–televizije, čime je uskraćeno pravo Bošnjacima na informisanje na maternjem jeziku.
