Radical Islamists known as Salafists are expanding their subversion into Bosnia’s Serb Republic and penetrating their network is increasingly hard says the President of the Committee for Defense and Security in the Parliament of the Serb Republic.
“In Gornja Maoca lives totally closed Salafists community where no authority can come in from Srebrenik,” said President Petar Djokic.
Djokic said that Serbs can not return to Gornja Maoca because the Islamists confiscated their property and ethnically cleansed the village of Serbs.
It is believed that the leader of Islamists from Gornja Maoca also runs an extremist Bosnian Muslim web site, putvjernika.com, that glorifies Jihad and tabulates number of dead Americans in its war on terror.
Djokic urged the security agencies in Bosnia to increase their attention on the activities of all Islamist groups and in particular those associated with the Salafi movement.
“In the struggle against the extremist organization we must include all security and intelligence agencies in Bosnia, because these groups are a threat to the stability,” said Djokic.
He said that the police is ill equipped to deal with extremist Bosnian Muslims and urged additional resources for the police in the Serb Republic to deal with the threat.

The Parliamentary Committee will also schedule a hearing with the police school where they will analyze extremism and in particular the Islamic one.
“The aim is to uncover the activities of the extremist groups and cut off their radical goals because those groups are a threat to the constitutional order,” said Djokic.
Djokic said that his Committee has analyzed the latest intelligence on the Salafists but that the intelligence is highly classified.
“Those are groups of people that advocate a different approach to Islam and a different kind of life. That is a method of religious expression that is, obviously, unusual for this region and publicly unacceptable,” Djokic said.
The intelligence service in the Serb Republic has recently uncovered documents from the extremist groups that show an elaborate weapons network and funding for arms.
