“NATO data show that more than 600 people from Kosovo went to fight for the Islamic State, whereas according to official date the number is 300. There is no official information on who they are, who recruited them and how they went there. However, it is believed that a network for recruiting already exists, attracting young and poor people with money,” told Dalibor Jevtic, Kosovo Minister for communities and returns and member of the Security Council of Kosovo.
