Ask:

Moslemovic

Yow can't change public_html to www and not give group write on the file to the user if you want to be able to edit the file.

As root,

cd ~moslemovic
chown -R moslemovic ./public_html
chgrp -R www ./public_html
chmod -R 755 ./public_html

That way moslemovic can edit any file in the folder and www can read/execute anything in the folder.
