General Momir Stojanovic, President of the Parliamentary Committee for the control of Security Services, said that ISIS will try to use the situation in the Western Balkans, which is unstable. “In western Balkans separatist movements are still strong. There is a dream about so called Great Albania; separatist’ striving in FYROM is growing, in addition to the problems in functioning B&H. It is the question of time when separatist movements will connect with the ISIS fighters. The additional problem presents increased number of migrants, who escape in order to save their lives, but it is possible that together with them will arrive some terrorists. ”
According to General Stojanovic, Serbia must urgently solve four urgent problems: “We must form unified data base on potential terrorists, since each Security Service is having its personal data base. We also must adopt the strategy for the fight against terrorism, which will assign the tasks to all participants. We should also form modern, well equipped, unique anti-terrorist centre. In case the attack happens, it will be too late for the forming of the Centre.”
