Israel's ambassador to Serbia, Jahel Wilan, assessed today that the terrorist attack in Belgrade, in which a member of the Gendarmerie was wounded, was most likely directed against Israel and emphasized that he is grateful to the Serbian authorities, especially the brave policeman who stopped the attack.
Desecration of Islam
Reisu-l-ulema of the Islamic Community of Serbia, Senad Halitović, also spoke. He condemned the attack on a member of the gendarmerie of the MUP of Serbia and pointed out that Islam strictly forbids any kind of violence against anyone and that life from the perspective of Islam represents a special sanctity.
"Such crimes are against all religious teachings, especially the teachings of Islam." Today's crime is the work of a mindless individual," said Halitović in a written statement.
The minister without portfolio, Usama Zukorlić, was of a similar opinion, pointing out that those who commit crimes by referring to Islam are harming this religion and creating a false image of it.
"As a man of Palestinian origin, I condemn the attack and believe that the crimes of the Israeli regime do not give anyone the right to respond with violence," he said.
"We hunt them all down." we will have no mercy"
Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević, in a statement to Telegraf, condemned the terrorist attack that took place in Belgrade today.
"I strongly condemn the heinous terrorist attack in Belgrade, in front of the Israeli embassy. The state will resolutely respond to the threat of terrorism," he said.
He told the citizens of Serbia that they can feel safe.
"Our country has been and will remain peaceful, stable and prosperous, and interfaith harmony will continue to adorn our society." This was an act of insanity, which cannot be attributed to any religion and any nation", concludes Vučević.
He adds that the gendarme will be decorated when he is released from the hospital.
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, visited the wounded gendarme in the Emergency Center and said that the country was looking for several more persons.
"I want to tell you that they were followed, maybe it took seven or eight more days for them to be arrested." It took so much time for the prosecutor to collect all the evidence", he said and said that the police will catch all these people.
It is, as he says, about people who joined extremist circles and who were followed along the lines of terrorism.
