Bashkim Zeqiri, expert on financing of terrorism claims that there is a solid legal basis to fund terrorism in Kosovo. “International reports on terrorism, for example that of the US Department of State on Terrorism published in 2013, make a few remarks that the government and institutions should have had a more serious approach. One of the remarks is that the source of funding of some of the non-governmental associations in Kosovo is unknown and that Kosovo has not built capacities for this supervision,” said Zeqiri for the public broadcaster, RTK.

“According to our assessments, only during the last years, over €50 million entered Kosovo from the Middle East. These funds should be analyzed, transactions should be assessed, analytical profiles should be created and this requires a very serious approach,” said Zeqiri.
