Violent extremism

With Albania in the final stages of drafting a new strategy for tackling violent extremism, experts say authorities must do more to address the online propaganda that is helping to radicalise some Albanians.

"So, the terrorist groups have just moved from one platform to another," Farid, a senior advisor to the Counter Extremism Project, told BIRN.

The United Nations Development Program, UNDP, on Wednesday published analysis on prevention of violent extremism in Kosovo, reporting an increase in the influence of extremist groups during the last two decades in Kosovo.
