MOSCOW, November 3. /TASS/. Kosovo could become a corridor for radical Islam breaking into Europe since the European Union is not yet ready to solve the migrant problem, Serbian ambassador to Russia Slavenko Terzic said on Tuesday.

"Most Islamists from the Balkans are fighting in the Middle East," the diplomat said. "Kosovo is an open corridor for penetration of radical Islam into Europe. It’s a pity that Europe was late in realising this," Terzic said. "As practice shows, Europe is not ready to settle this serious problem on its own," he said.
Replying to a TASS question about migrant flows on the border with Serbia, the ambassador said "our republic cannot cope alone with the flow of migrants. This problem must be settled jointly."
"It is necessary to exclude the cause of the influx of migrants from the Middle East and North Africa. All European countries must respect and protect their values," he added.
