US counterterrorism coordinator Nathan Sales is visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Kosovo to discuss how to improve cooperation in fighting terrorism and prosecuting suspects.
Nathan Sales, the US Coordinator for Counterterrorism, will continue his official visit to the Balkans until October 20, visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Kosovo, all countries that have faced problems with Islamist radicalisation.
“He will engage in bilateral discussions with his counterparts on counterterrorism cooperation, combatting terrorist travel, the prosecution of terrorists, and border security,” the US State Department said in a statement.
The State Department’s 2017 terrorism country reports, published last month, said that Balkan states cooperate well with international partners on counter-terrorism but face a lack of resources and problems of cooperation between institutions.
