The US State Department report “Kosovo 2015:Crime and Safety” states that the international/transnational terrorism threat in Kosovo is similar to that faced by most European nations. “The presence of U.S. military units provides anti-American terrorists with potential targets. Kosovo has seen a rise in Islamic extremism in recent years. In the summer of 2014, police arrested over 60 individuals on suspicion of participating in or supporting the fighting in Syria and Iraq. There are a number of citizens who have traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight in the war who poses a concern for the government,” reads the report. According to this report, terrorists can easily enter the territory of Kosovo of the fact that the borders are porous and there is no strong visa program.
