“Our mission is to prevent extremism, Islam is a religion that calls for peace” (Klan Kosova)
Kosovo’s Minister for Interior Affairs, Skender Hyseni, said in Pristina today that his ministry has drafted a country-wide strategy to prevent radicalism and terrorism. At the International Conference Against Violent Extremism, Hyseni said “the Interior Ministry is focused on preventing the radicalisation of society and safeguarding traditional Islam in Kosovo. Islam is a religion that calls for peace”. Hyseni also said, “we have close cooperation with the international community and we thank them for their unreserved support on certain projects”. Hyseni also said he has visited all municipalities in Kosovo and met with local security forums, “which are the perfect venues to convey messages against extremism”. “As a society, we need to focus on prevention. I also want to thank the police for the job they have done in fighting extremism,” he added.
