Also at the meeting were Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Vladimir Pesevski and Interior Minister Gordana Jankuloska. Lieberman told them that current data testifies to the fact that the Balkan region is Global Jihad's next target for creating an infrastructure and recruiting activists.

 

According to the foreign minister, "This can be seen from the attempts of Muslim charitable organizations to transfer funds to Africa and South America, to areas populated by Bosnians and Albanians."

 

Lieberman added that this meant Macedonia must be suitably prepared in order to prevent what happened in Africa and South America from happening in the Balkans.
