"Through this approach in recent years we had more extraordinary successful actions in which we arrested a large and well-known criminal groups from across the region", said Radoncic. Referring to border crossings issue Dacic said: "As we approach the European Union (EU), the control on the borders needs to be stronger and sharper and when we enter the EU, we will have to discontinue it.
