"Nobody has come forward willing to bury attacker who wounded policeman in front of Israeli embassy"
The minister stated that the incident which happened at the end of June in front of the Israeli embassy in Belgrade, took place there by chance, because the Wahhabi was first on his way to the synagogue
Minister of Internal Affairs Ivica Dacic said today that, after the terrorist attack when a Wahhabi wounded a Serbian gendarme with a crossbow in front of the Israeli embassy in Belgrade, he spoke with Bosniaks and that he expects to cooperate with the Islamic community in the fight against extremism.

Dacic told TV Pink that the Wahhabis are the biggest threat precisely to Muslims, i.e. Bosniaks.
"I recently spoke with many Bosniaks, Muslims, and I think that the Islamic community also has a great responsibility. We need to work together on this, this is about preserving peace, about the fight for peace and the fight against extremism, so that no terrorist actions happen again," said the minister of the interior.
He added that there was an incident near Novi Pazar last night, when a Wahhabi beat up another Muslim, that is, a Bosniak.

"And I want to tell you that as of today, no one has come forward willing to bury him (the attacker)," said Dacic.
He explained that there are four levels of terror alerts, the first and lowest being green, followed by yellow, then orange, which comes into force when there is real danger of a terrorist act or when it happens somewhere in Serbia's neighborhood, and finally red, when a terrorist act occurs (in the country).
"When it comes to yellow alert, that is the same level that was in force before this (incident), it is almost always in effect here. And this means increased vigilance in some important locations such as state infrastructure - meaning buildings that represent state institutions, diplomatic and consular missions," said Dacic.
