MOSCOW, January 15 (Sputnik) – In order to prevent terrorist attacks, governments should foster tolerance and nondiscrimination in society in addition to applying security measures, Serbia's foreign minister said Thursday.

”It falls on all our governments to take measures not only in terms of countering terrorism and providing security to our citizens but also fostering tolerance and nondiscrimination in our societies,” Ivica Dacic said in an inauguration address assuming Serbia’s chairmanship in the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

Dacic said that the OSCE's agenda for 2015 included battling foreign terrorists and radical extremists.

“We will devote particular attention this year to the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters, as well as violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism, particularly the radicalization of youth,” Dacic said.
