At a meeting of senior security officials held in Russia on Wednesday, Stefanovic said that a special challenge for Serbia was the complex security situation in Kosovo, due to the significant number of extremists associated with Islamic State.
"Unfortunately, the international community that has an active role in Kosovo has so far largely ignored this fact," said Stefanovic, according to a statement from the Interior Ministry.
He added that Europol data showed that around 800 terrorists from the Western Balkans had joined Islamic State in the Middle East.
Stefanovic said that recently in Serbia, a group of seven terrorists was sentenced to a cumulative sentence of 67 years in prison. They fought for Islamic State and were involved in recruiting new fighters and raising funds.
The minister said that the key segment of the fight against terrorism in Serbia was intensive and continuous cooperation with other countries and relevant international organizations.
Serbia should be reporting that most Pro-Russian separatist-terrorist recruits fighting against Ukraine are Radical-Serbs that come from Serbia!!!

This "news" is no surprise. Islamists were and remain present, even before the wars in the 90's. They became stronger and used propaganda to fool the world. Now Islamic radicals have invaded not only Europe but the world. While Serbs were fighting a true universal enemy, they received little support. They were even severely punished by a blind and ignorant world. Now that world is facing the same enemy. Time is due to recognize the bravery of good Serbian people, that not only fought to protect themselves and good human values, but in so doing, tried to warn others. History repeating itself : first they came for Serbs, Jews, Roma, good people of all cultures. Now they are coming for you too !
