Lukac told the "Press RS " on Monday, that the threat arises from plans to establish a Greater Albania.
- We have information that the struggle still continues and it is not excluded that the terrorists will be joined by new terrorists in hopes of intensifying the conflict to a higher level.

- This means that we are ready 24 hours a day to keep an eye on potential terrorists and their helpers, in order to thwart them in any possible intention to carry out their attacks - Lukac said .
He rejected criticism of the police operation last week in which thirty Bosniaks were brought in on the suspicion of being connected with terrorist activities.
Most of those arrested were released, and for six of them custody was requested.
The arrests sparked numerous reactions and allegations that the fight against terrorism was organized pressure on the Bosniaks who have returned to live on the territory of RS.
Lukac's assessment was that these convictions were tactless, adding that his officers do not persecute Bosniaks but potential terrorists.
