’Terrorists Will Spread Across Europe after Daesh’s Destruction’

Local Editor

The final elimination of Daesh [ISIS/ISIL] will be followed by terrorists rushing into Europe, Milan Pasanski, president of the Forum for the Study of International Terrorism, told Sputnik.

In an interview with Sputnik's Serbian edition, Pasanski predicted that after the final destruction of Daesh, terrorists may rush into Europe.

The interview came after police arrested five migrants suspected of participating in a fight that resulted in one suspected Middle East migrant dead and another one seriously wounded in the Serbian capital of Belgrade earlier this week.

The country's Interior Ministry said that "a group of migrants had a knife-fight in Kamenicka Street" and that "one person died from his wounds, while another was sent to intensive care."

The Ministry pledged an increase in security measures, "especially in Belgrade's parks," after the migrant's death, according to the b92.net news website.

Earlier, Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs Nebojsa Stefanovic said that since the beginning of the year about 110,000 migrants from the Middle East and Northern Africa has passed through Serbia on the way to Western European countries, while more than 600,000 migrants transited the country in 2015.

Milan Pasanski further added that although the current security situation in Serbia is stable, it may change in the foreseeable future.

"Citizens are safe and there is no terrorist threat. However, this problem will become more acute after Daesh is finally destroyed. The remaining terrorists will spread across the world and they will, in particular, enter Europe. As for Serbia, it may become a transit country on their way, a very serious problem to be reckoned with," Pasanski said.
