DERADIKALIZATION OF FOREIGN FIGHTERSRETURNEES AND SUPPORTERS OF RADICAL ISLAMIST GROUPS - CHALLENGE IN FIGHTING THE THREAT OF RADICAL ISLAMISM IN THE BALKANS

Summary/Abstract: The challenge of tackling the threat of radical Islamism in the Balkans dates back to the break-up of Yugoslavia. The growing number of new adherents of radical Islamism in North Macedonia, as well as returnees from foreign battlefields, raise the alarm about the need for an appropriate response to this challenge. The process of deradicalization, reintegration and rehabilitation are undoubtedly imposed as one of the aspects of the institutional response of the state. Although the initial stages of realization of this process faced difficulties and lack of coordination, still the competent institutions show initiative.
