Terrorists often present themselves as “ordinary” citizens and do not stand out in order to gain trust and spread their network of collaborators. The true question is how to detect this threat more easily in the future in order to prevent hideous murders, such as the one at the Smilkovci lake, from happening again, says Interior Minister Gordana Jankuloska in her interview with Dnevnik.

Who could be the mastermind of the monstrous murder of five men at Smilkovci, according to the investigation of the Interior Ministry?
- It is too early to say whether there was one mastermind or it was an idea of many. On Tuesday, we started the last stage of the realization of the operation Monster. By bringing the suspects before an investigative judge, the official court investigation has gone underway as well. The fact that the charges were accepted and court proceedings began means that much of the job has been done well. I don’t know what statement the suspects made in court and whether they said that someone organized them or convinced them to commit the crime, yet I do know that we are not going to stop before all are brought before justice no matter their role.
