A draft strategy developed by the government says fighters coming back from the Middle East, as Islamic State collapses, pose the next major challenge to the country’s security.
The Kosovo government’s new National Strategy against Terrorism and Action Plan 2018-2022 says fighters returning from conflict zones in the Middle East, as the so-called Islamic State, ISIS, collapses, are the next challenge in the country’s battle against the threat of terrorism.
“As has been seen in many examples in Europe, radicalised individuals can commit acts of extreme violence against both the population and institutions in their own country, and therefore the risk that Kosovo might be targeted for such a terrorist attack cannot be excluded,” the document, made public on Friday, says.
