TEL AVIV, MARCH 26 /SRNA/ - The Minister of Scientific and Technological Development and Higher Education of Republika Srpska, Željko Budimir, says during his visit to Israel that terrorism as a form of political struggle that promotes political Islam must not be accepted anywhere, and that even Srpska must take more care of those who come from the community that fought in the "Islamic State" as they are a potential threat.
Budimir, after visiting together with the President of Srpska, Milorad Dodik, the place where Jewish civilians were killed in Kibbutz Be’eri, said it was a place of sadness and pain, but also a warning about the terrorism dangers.
"We Serbs in Republika Srpska must take care of those who come from the community that fought in the ‘Islamic State’. We know that these people are returning to BiH and that we do not have adequate information about who and what they are," warned Budimir.
He expressed his fear that such radical elements can cause massacres like those in Israel in the societies that fail to take such things into account.
"Such communities cannot survive for long. That is why this is a great warning to humanity in general. Things like this are generated only from a pathological hatred towards others. Thus, we have to know how to protect our interests. We can't just call for tenderness of the other party that should also take care of the interests of others. Therefore, what is happening in Israel is a warning to the entire world, and to us Serbs," Budimir told RTRS and ATV.
