Terrorist attacks in Paris have provoked a question throughout the world about protection from this kind of violence. Analyst from Kosovo Naim Maloku argues that extreme radicalism is a global problem to which Kosovo is not immune either. “France can’t do it on its own, nor can any state fight the global terrorism on its own. A message should be drown from what happened in Paris, and this should encourage better cooperation between security sectors, not only in our region but worldwide,” said Maloku.
Reflecting on the joint fight against terrorists, military analyst Miroslav Lazanski said that this fight is hindered by the fact that there is no unified criteria defining who are terrorists, and added that acts similar to Paris ones could be expected in states with Muslim population. “Security in Kosovo is in hands of Nato, KFOR, let’s say Americans directly, and for all that happens there, responsibility lays with Brussels, that is Washington,” said Lazanski and added that Serbia has no instruments to influence security in Kosovo and Metohija.
Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sandzak region in Serbia and Montenegro, are zones in Balkans that are under particular attention of European experts for terrorism, because it is supposed that big number of radicalized young people who decided to join formation of terrorists in Syria and Iraq are coming from these areas, writes Pristina-based daily Koha ditore.
