Happenings on the Middle East have undoubtedly left remarkable mark among the Muslims who live on the territory of Balkan. The events in Syria and Iraq, and the crisis in other Middle Eastern countries pose a significant threat to the Balkan countries. For better understanding of the political, social, economic and security processes in the Middle East, it is necessary at least to analyze all the processes that led to the creation of a unified Arab state, its ideology and aims. This work will try to answer some really important questions about ISIS and the idea of spreading the territory of a Great Muslim Country with an attention on Balkan countries.
